The Judith Stewart Dresser Memorial Bridge on state Route 5 over the Chickahominy River in Charles City County will be closed from 11 p.m. Thursday until 5 a.m. Friday for construction work.

During that time, travelers will take a 63-mile detour. The Virginia Department of Transportation urged drivers to make alternate travel plans or to allow at least an extra hour and a half for their trip.

use state Route 155 north in Charles City

to U.S. 60 east in New Kent County

to state Route 614 south in James City County

and back to Route 5

To detour from James City westbound on Route 5:

use Route 614 north in James City

to U.S. 60 west in James City, through New Kent

to Route 155 south in New Kent through Charles City

and back to Route 5

Construction crews will be pouring concrete for the new Route 5 bridge's deck during the overnight closure, the last of six such closures scheduled.
