HAMPTON, Va. — There were almost five miles of cars backed up on I-64 eastbound around 7 a.m. Thursday after an accident in the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnels.
By 7:20 a.m., I-64 eastbound and westbound lanes had been reopened at the HRBT, but congestion was still a major problem.
The details of the accident weren't immediately shared - but for a time, both eastbound and westbound lanes were completely shut down.
Officials were routing eastbound drivers stuck on the bridge through a median, and back through I-64 westbound, to turn around and avoid the crash.
Commuters who need to cross from the peninsula to the southside, or vice versa, should aim for the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel.
This is a developing story. It will be updated when police share information about the accident.
