VIRGINIA BEACH - Beginning as early as July 19, the Virginia Department of Transportation will close a portion of Winwood Drive at eastbound Laskin Road (on the southside of Laskin Road) for approximately two days while crews perform utility work.
The closure, located near the Laskin Road Annex, will restrict turns onto Winwood Drive in this location on the south side of Laskin Road, starting as early as 9 a.m. on July 19 until approximately 9 a.m. on July 21.
Mainline Laskin Road will remain open at all times. This closure and detour will not directly affect Winwood Drive on the north side of Laskin Road, heading into the Linlier neighborhood.
While the work is underway, a signed detour will direct motorists to access Winwood Drive by:
- Continuing eastbound on Laskin Road (toward the oceanfront);
- Turning right onto Fremac Drive;
- Turning right onto Reynard Drive; and
- Re-accessing Winwood Drive.
Motorists traveling westbound on Laskin Road and attempting to access Winwood Drive on the south side of Laskin Road will make a U-turn and follow the same detour as eastbound traffic. Motorists on Winwood Drive needing to access mainline Laskin Road will reverse the detour.
