Traffic was restricted to one lane on the bridge and the flow of vehicles was backed up on I-64 and about 5 miles on southbound I-95 where the two interstate routes share the highway, said Virginia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Dawn Eischen.
Further details about the crashes were not immediately available.
