ReportWhat the 511 Virginia feed carried over the holiday weekend.
I-81 runs about 325 miles down the Shenandoah Valley past Winchester, Harrisonburg and Roanoke, with heavy truck traffic the whole way. I-95 carries the East Coast corridor from the Washington area south through Richmond. I-64 crosses the state east to west, meeting I-95 at Richmond on its way from the mountains to Hampton Roads. I-66 and US-29 serve Northern Virginia and the Piedmont.
Virginia's weather trouble concentrates in the west. Valley fog on I-81 that drops visibility in minutes, winter ice on I-77's mountain grades near the North Carolina line, and snow in the highlands that arrives while Richmond stays dry. Hampton Roads adds coastal flooding and tunnel and bridge restrictions during storms. VDOT posts all of it by route and milepost.
In October 2026, MileCheck's archive of the 511 Virginia feed held 1,683 unique reports, including 134 closure reports, 202 crash reports and 979 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were I-64, I-81 and I-95. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the October Highway Report.
The map above shows full closures from the 511 Virginia feed as red markers, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. The page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open 511 Virginia.
