In this story

Which ramp is affected

VDOT lists daily closures November 16 and 17 on the Route 15 entrance ramp from Sheppards Road to westbound Route 460 in Prince Edward County. The closures are for paving and depend on the weather.

The county heading in the alert identifies this ramp; the work dates appear as a look-ahead beyond the alert’s main November 9–15 window.

Before driving that way

VDOT says signs will mark the detour and drivers should expect delays. The notice does not give exact closure hours or say that through traffic on Route 460 is closed.

Check Virginia 511 before leaving and follow the signs at the ramp.
