Routes parallel to the I-81 corridor can serve as an alternative route for travelers when there are incidents on the interstate, particularly those requiring lane closures. Detour plans have been developed for VDOT and other responding agencies to follow when I-81 incidents occur between interchanges. The plans provide detailed resource information for responders such as number and stations for traffic control personnel, location and type of traffic signals, signing and other traffic control devices required. The purpose for development of the detour plans was to assist with keeping traffic moving during an incident on the interstate.
