PETERSBURG, Va. (WRIC) — Drivers in Petersburg are asked to be prepared for a major road in the city to close temporarily.
According to the Virginia Department of Transportation, South Crater Road will close in both directions between Graham Road and Winfield Road from 6 p.m. from Monday, Dec. 19 to 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 20.
