VIRGINIA BEACH - As construction continues on the Laskin Road Bridge Replacement and Widening Project, travelers should expect changes to the traffic pattern and business access on the north side of Laskin Road, just west of First Colonial Road at the project's western limits.
Starting as early as July 6, contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation will permanently close the feeder lanes on the north side of Laskin Road between Republic Road and First Colonial Road.
With the closure of the feeder lanes, the entrances/exits to the businesses within the feeder lane closure will be extended to mainline Laskin Road, allowing westbound motorists to turn directly into and out of the businesses.
Access to properties within the feeder lane closure will be maintained at all times, although access may change temporarily in order to complete the driveway extensions. Once this work is completed, the feeder lanes will be permanently closed to traffic, with signs and barricades in place to indicate the closure.
Motorists traveling through the work zone should obey the reduced speed limit of 35 mph, at all times.
This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule is subject to change.
