The National Park Service (NPS) will close the Williamsburg Tunnel on the Colonial Parkway from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm on Friday, August 28, 2020 for a lighting assessment. Detours will provide a thru route in both directions during the brief 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.
