Virginia Beach Drivers Warned By Police

Being warned by police deserves attention. Due to multiple near accidents near the Virginia Beach Lesner Bridge construction site recently, drivers are being warned by the Virginia Beach police. Virginia Beach police are warning drivers to drive cautiously around the construction vehicles.

There have been several times that drivers have cut in front of the tractor trailers. They are carrying over-sized loads and cannot come to a sudden stop. Because the trucks are overloaded and super heavy, about 280,000 pounds, it takes a much longer distance to stop, sometimes longer than a football field. If a driver cuts in front of these trucks or brakes suddenly, it could result in very serious injuries to the occupants of the vehicle. The accident could even result in fatalities because the truck cannot stop in time.

The Virginia Beach Police have also said that they will be patrolling the area of the Lesner Bridge. They plan to issue tickets to drivers who cut in front of the trucks and stop suddenly. They have cautioned the drivers to be aware that these size trucks have substantial “blind spots” and cannot see a full view on the sides of the truck. It is said that if you cannot see another vehicle in your mirror, then the driver cannot see you. When warned by police to use caution in a construction area, there is good reason to heed their warning.

When Warned By Police To Use Caution, Do It!

Construction on the new, wider Lesner Bridge over the Lynnhaven Inlet was started in 2014. It is now expected to be completed by late 2017, or early 2018. This scheduled completion date is six months to a year behind schedule. The western side of the Virginia Beach Lesner Bridge is scheduled to open in the Fall. The area around the Lesner Bridge construction site is a mess and can be very difficult to navigate. Most Virginia Beach residents look forward to the completion of the new Lesner Bridge and an easier commute every morning and evening.
