VDOT to suspend blasting two different days for holiday travel

The  Virginia Department of Transportation is giving holiday travelers a little break from blasting on Interstate 81.

VDOT contractors have been working to add a truck-climbing lane in Montgomery County.  

The work causes daily slowdowns and detours between Exit 132-- that's Dixie Caverns in Roanoke County -- and Exit 118 in Christiansburg.

Blasting will not take place this Friday, December 23 and on Monday, January 2.
