VDOT News - Culpeper

CULPEPER — Virginia Department of Transportation crews spent Tuesday morning pre-treating Interstate 64, west of the City of Charlottesville, and Interstate 66 in the Culpeper District ahead of wintry weather expected to arrive early tomorrow morning. 

Forecasts are calling for snow in the western and northern part of the district, including the high elevations of Albemarle, Greene, Madison, Rappahannock and Fauquier Counties. Other areas may see a wintry mix of flurries and rain. Ice is likely to form first in areas where pavement temperatures are lowest. These spots include bridges, overpasses, ramps, and intersections. Remember, if the roadway looks wet, it’s probably ice. 

Predictions call for warmer temperatures by noon, so drivers might want to delay travel until the weather passes. 

Prior to travel, motorists should visit 511virginia.org, call 511 or check the 511 Virginia mobile app for up-to-date information on road and traffic conditions.
