NORFOLK, Va. — The Virginia Department of Transportation gave drivers a heads-up about road closures in downtown Norfolk for an unusual reason this weekend.
The Berkley Bridge on Interstate 264 and nearby ramps will close periodically throughout Sunday afternoon and into the evening as production crews film for a commercial, according to VDOT.
Motorists driving in that area can expect stoppages lasting up to 20 minutes beginning as early as 3 p.m. to as late as 7 p.m.
VDOT crews and Virginia State Police will close the roads for a series of three brief stoppages.
Here's a list of the road closures:
- I-264 in both directions at the Berkley Bridge and approaching the Downtown Tunnel
- On-ramp to I-264 westbound from Market Street in Norfolk
- On-ramp to I-264 westbound from City Hall Avenue in Norfolk
- On-ramp to I-264 westbound from Tidewater Drive in Norfolk
- On-ramp to I-264 eastbound from W. Berkley Avenue in Norfolk
- On-ramp to I-264 eastbound from I-464 north in Norfolk
VDOT said the commercial organization obtained a single-use permit for the film production. The production has been coordinated between VDOT, Virginia State Police, Elizabeth River Crossings, the Film Office of the Virginia Tourism Corporation and the city of Norfolk.
