ROUTE 620 (MUDDY CROSS DRIVE) REDUCED TO SINGLE LANE DURING CULVERT WORK IN ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY 

Temporary signals installed to alternate each direction of traffic beginning on April 5 

ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY — As of Friday, April 5, a continuous single-lane closure is in place on Route 620 (Muddy Cross Drive) over Cypress Creek, while crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) perform culvert restoration. 

This work, necessary to extend the lifespan of the existing culvert, requires a continuous single-lane closure on Route 620 (Muddy Cross Drive), reducing the roadway to one shared lane for both directions of traffic. Temporary traffic signals are in place alternating Route 620 (Muddy Cross Drive) traffic in each direction for the duration of the closure, estimated to be in place for up to five weeks. Access to all existing private property and business entrances within the work zone will be maintained at all times.  

This construction work is weather- and schedule-dependent; therefore, this schedule is subject to change.   

Before hitting the road, consider using VDOT's free 511 Virginia traffic tools, or the free 511-integrated Waze GPS app, to check for the most up-to-date road and travel conditions. VDOT’s 511Virginia.org website and mobile app offer information about construction, traffic, incidents, and congestion, as well as access to traffic cameras, weather-related impacts and more.
