SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. ( DC News Now ) — For more than two hours, multiple trees blocked a portion of River Road and knocked over a power line on Monday morning.

In a post on X, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) said drivers traveling on River Road can expect delays after a tree fell onto the road near Sedgwick and River Down Drive.

As a result, one lane was closed on River Road.
