I-81 Delays for Winchester Area Sunday

4 November 2017 News

Both northbound and southbound Interstate 81 drivers can expect brief delays early Sunday morning, November 5, during a series of “slow-roll” closures for utility work in Frederick County. They are scheduled to take place from 1:30 to 4:30 AM, between exit 313 (Routes 17/50/522) and exit 315 (Route 7) in the Winchester area.

Slow rolls create a gap in traffic that allows crews to perform needed work. Each slow roll is expected to last 10-12 minutes, and Virginia State Police will assist with traffic control throughout.

Traffic alerts and traveler information can be obtained by dialing 511, and are also available at http://www.511Virginia.org . The VDOT Customer Service Center can assist with reporting road hazards, asking transportation questions, or getting information related to Virginia’s roads; call 800-FOR- ROAD (800-367-7623) or use its mobile friendly website at https://my.vdot.virginia.gov/.

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Thursday March 4, 2021. It was on this day in 1952 that Ernest Hemingway completed his short novel The Old Man and the Sea. According to History dot com, he wrote his publisher the same day, saying he had finished the book and that it was the best writing he had ever done. The critics agreed: The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and became one of his bestselling works. The novella was first published in Life magazine. The story is an allegory referring to Hemingway's own struggles to preserve his art in the face of fame and attention. Hemingway had become a cult figure whose four marriages and adventures in big-game hunting and fishing were widely reported in the press. But despite his fame, he had not written a major work in nearly a decade before he wrote The Old Man and the Sea. The book turned out to be his last significant work of fiction before he took his own life in 1961. I read this again a few years when one of my boys was reading it as a school literature project. It's a good read. Listen to the podcast here; theriver953.com/podcast/fun-fact-march-4-2021/ ... See MoreSee Less
