From Richmond police:

Richmond Police want to advise drivers to the closure of the Lee Bridge on Sunday night to accommodate the RVA Fireworks.

The Lee Bridge will be closed from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday, July 3.

From the south – access to the bridge will be closed at Semmes and Cowardin avenues.

From the north – access to the bridge will be closed at East Byrd and Belvidere streets.

Also, while I am seeing stories about the 76 ramp, I am not seeing details on roadwork regarding the 195 ramp coming from Cumberland. I thought I heard something about it being closed for adding a new lane to the toll plaza. Anyone have the skinny?
