Traffic begins to clog as crowd gathers for Obama rally
Posted Oct17, 2008 at 08:06 AM
Traffic lines have clogged the main arteries immediately adjacent to the Civic Center, with cars lined up on Williamson Road and Orange Avenue. Traffic has also backed up on Williamson Road toward downtown.
Meanwhile, dozens of people were already standing in line by 7:30 a.m. near the Orange Avenue entrance.
The Virginia Department of Transportation has advised that traffic traveling to the Civic Center can cause delays from about 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 581.
