VDOT Plans to Widen I-81

Nighttime test boring inspection included drilling through the deck of the Pleasant Valley Road Bridge over Interstate 81 in Harrisonburg, VA. The Virginia Department of Transportation is planning to widen a 5.9 mile section of I-81 from mile marker 242 to 248 from two lanes to three lanes in each direction. A total of nine bridges will be replaced to accommodate the widening of the interstate travel lanes.
