YORK COUNTY, Va. (WAVY)– Motorists can expect longer wait times at the Route 17 George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge.
According to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), motorists and maritime traffic will have to wait longer at the bridge due to mechanical issues. In order to maintain bridge operations for vehicular and maritime traffic, all bridge openings require crews members to perform additional procedures to manually open the bridge.
VDOT says the procedures can extend the time of each opening by an additional 25-40 minutes causing the total wait time to be between 45-60 minutes.
Openings will continue to be conducted in compliance with federal regulations enforced by the United States Coast Guard (USCG)…
