Suffolk Public Works Department announces road closures on Nansemond Parkway
SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The Suffolk Public Works Department has announced two consecutive road closures on Nansemond Parkway. Starting Tuesday, the intersection at Bridlewood Lane to north of Ryan Arch will be closed through Friday, June 6. Drivers will be detoured around the closure area. Following the first road closure, Nansemond Parkway Bridge will be under long-term closure due to construction. Beginning June 9, the closure is expected to last until summer 2026 as the bridge undergoes replacement. Progress Road will serve as the primary detour route for both closures to minimize disruptions and maintain efficient traffic flow around the construction areas. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Potholes lead to Norfolk blitz to repair them
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The pothole at the corner of Keller and Hanbury streets in Norfolk is not easy to miss. Capria Smith tries to go around it. 'It is ragly. Don't you see? It is broken up,' she said. 'It's terrible. I used up my car all day.' Smith is hoping that someone from the city would come out and make repairs to the road. Suffolk Public Works hits streets with pothole blitz 'I am the pothole liaison,' said Marvin Hall with Norfolk Public Works' streets and bridges division. 'I'm the pothole guy.' Hall is the guy to make repairs, and it's his job, along with his crew, to fill potholes throughout the city's streets. Last year they filled more than 1,400 of them. This year, the blitz is on to repair potholes that formed from the winter weather. 'Snow, ice, rain, water, the roads get soft and vehicles kind of break up the asphalt pops up, expansions and contractions, … hot and cold, and it causes potholes throughout Norfolk,' Hall said. One by one, Hall says in a week's time they fill on average about 100 potholes. When the potholes get repaired the drivers become very thankful. 'I am happy about that,' Smith said. 'That's awesome. Hallelujah.' Hall said he appreciates the kind words. 'We're making sure it's safe for everybody,' he said. Norfolk residents are encouraged to report potholes using the MyNorfolk mobile app or . Residents can also report potholes by calling Norfolk Cares at (757) 664-6510 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or email . Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
