Drivers heading east on Interstate 64 should be prepared to find alternate routes Thursday afternoon or face major delays on Afton Mountain.

According to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), an overturned tractor trailer has blocked all eastbound lanes of I-64 in Augusta County, at mile marker 99.

That's about half a mile west of Rt. 250.

Traffic camera images show a tractor trailer on its side along the interstate.

VDOT advises travelers to expect delays, but reports from the scene indicate that crews are working to move the tractor trailer to a scenic overlook to reduce backups.
