Many Virginia attorneys who litigate highway accident claims already know this: work on overpasses and other highway construction can contribute to auto accidents on Virginia highways, and even result in fatalities, especially when they are congested and speed limits are higher. Heavy traffic volume, including cross-country tractor trailers and semis, especially along I-95, I-64, and I-295 in and around Richmond, shorten the time between necessary repairs, and those VDOT crews have to block one or more lanes of traffic to get the work done safely.

Recently, VDOT attributed one multi-car collision involving a tractor trailer on I-95 near Richmond to work it was performing on an overpass. One person died at the scene in that accident.

Be careful when traveling these roadways for your own safety, and that of your family.
