Temporary Closure of Colonial Parkway Williamsburg Tunnel
The National Park Service (NPS) will close the Williamsburg Tunnel on the Colonial Parkway from 9 am on Monday, October 26, 2020 through 5 pm on Friday, October 30, 2020 for an in-depth assessment of the lighting system. Detours will provide a through route in both directions during the closure.
Detour signs will divert Jamestown-bound traffic at the Parkway traffic circle, along Visitor Center Drive (RT 132Y) to South Henry Street, to the Newport Avenue interchange with the Parkway. Signs at all turns will indicate “Colonial Parkway Jamestown Detour”. Yorktown-bound traffic will follow the detour in the opposite direction and signs at all turns will indicate “Colonial Parkway Yorktown Detour.” The England Street ramp will remain open.
