NORFOLK

The city of Norfolk will halt some road construction projects on Black Friday and Thanksgiving weekend to allow better flow of what will be busy downtown traffic.

Projects on these streets will stop on Friday, a city press release said:

- St. Paul’s Boulevard.

- Brambleton Avenue between Duke Street and Interstate 264.

- Virginia Beach Boulevard between Llewellyn and Monticello avenues.

The press release said three closures will remain in effect: One lane of Brambleton from Colley Avenue to Duke Street, the closure of Charlotte Street, and the southbound lane closure of Brambleton from Colley to Yarmouth Street.

People coming downtown can get more information from a city report available at www.norfolk.gov/publicworks/tipreport.asp.
