Motorists and boaters should expect delays at the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge on Route 17 as mechanical issues continue to require manual operations. VDOT now says each bridge opening could take 45 to 60 minutes, up to 40 minutes longer than usual. Temporary repairs are underway, but VDOT also says watercraft operators should provide at least two hours’ notice for openings. Travelers are encouraged to use the 511 Virginia website or app for real-time updates and alerts while crews work to maintain safe and reliable bridge operations.
