Tar spill snarls traffic on Interstate 95 in Chesterfield

Southbound traffic on Interstate 95 in southern Chesterfield County was snarled on the morning of Nov. 9 as crews worked to clean up tar spilled on the highway after a truck hauling the substance overturned. It happened shortly before 5 a.m. near the Ruffin Mill Road-Woods Edge Road exit about four miles north of Colonial Heights, Virginia State Police Sgt. Jessica Shehan said in an email. A vehicle attempting to change lanes hit the truck, causing it to overturn and spill tar all over the southbound travel lanes. Both drivers were taken to an area hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening. The crash remains under investigation. Travel through the area was expected to be slow while the cleanup continued.

Prince George roundabout project starts with detours

Work has begun on a long-awaited traffic roundabout on a main Prince George County road, and that means long-term detours will be in place. In an announcement Nov. 6, the project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2027. The roundabout "will improve safety and operations at the intersection," VDOT said. Motorists heading to and from Hopewell and the Prince George courthouse area are being directed to use state Route 156, also known as Prince George Drive, and state Route 106, Courthouse Road. Trucks and other large commercial vehicles will be directed to use Courthouse Road, state Route 36 and state Route 10 to get around the construction area. VDOT describes the roundabout as a single-lane circular project with drainage and lighting improvements. Similar roundabouts exist at the intersection of Jefferson Park, Allin and Bull Hill roads near the Fort Lee back gate, and at the intersection of Allin and Courthouse roads. A roundabout in the shape of a dog bone was recently completed at the intersection of Courthouse and Bull Hill roads. For questions about the roundabout project or to report hazardous road conditions, contact VDOT’s 24-hour Customer Service Center my.vdot.virginia.gov or by calling 800-FOR-ROAD ( 367-7623
