Virginia lifts temporary lane closures on major roads for Easter

Virginia roadwork crews are getting an extended Easter break, and so are drivers traveling for the holiday.

The state is suspending many highway work zones and lifting most temporary lane closures on interstates and other major roads until noon Tuesday.

The lane closure suspensions started Friday.
