Interstate 64 exits 47A and 47B eastbound will be closed beginning 8 a.m. Sunday to allow Appalachian Power crews to perform maintenance work at the intersection of Lakeview and Jain drives in Cross Lanes.
Traffic will be detoured to exit 50 to Goff Mountain Road. Exit 47 traveling westbound will not be closed. Traffic will be stopped on Lakeview Drive during several 15-minute intervals to allow crews to safely remove wire from transmission towers. Flaggers will be on site to help any possible traffic congestion.
The work is part of Appalachian Power's Kanawha Valley Area Reinforcement Transmission Project, an approximately $330 million investment to improve service reliability for customers. More information about the project is available at www.appalachianpower.com/kanawhavalley.
