HOW YOU CAN GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING

How do you get to and from Radford without Memorial Bridge? Let us count the ways:

Recommended detours:

From the Fairlawn area: Follow U.S. 11 to Virginia 114. Follow the detour signs to U.S. 460 Bypass toward Christiansburg. In Christiansburg, pick up U.S. 11 (Radford Road) to Radford via Plum Creek.

From the Pulaski/Dublin areas: Get on I-81 northbound and take Radford Exit 108 (Tyler Road/Virginia 177). Returning motorists can enter I-81 southbound at Exit 105 from First Street (Virginia 232), more convenient for commuters already on the city's West End.

Not recommended. Drive at your own risk!:

From the Fairlawn area: Follow Virginia 114 to Walton Road (Virginia 663) across Crab Creek and the railroad tracks to U.S. 11 in Plum Creek. Turn right onto U.S. 11 for Radford; left for Christiansburg. Returning traffic should follow Norwood Street (U.S. 11) from Radford to Walton Road, a left turn, at Plum Creek. Continue to Virginia 114. Turn left for Radford; right for Christiansburg.

From the Fairlawn area: Follow U.S. 11 to Hazel Hollow Road (Virginia 626; right turn just before Memorial Bridge) to Wilderness Road (Virginia 611) to Claytor Lake State Park Road (Virginia 611), which connects with I-81 at Exit 101. Take I-81 northbound to Exit 108 (Tyler Road/Virginia 177). Returning motorists can enter I-81 southbound at Exit 105 from First Street (Virginia 232), more convenient for commuters already on the city's West End. Take the Claytor Lake exit (Exit 98) and turn right at the off ramp. Follow Claytor Lake State Park Road over I-81 and turn right at Wilderness Road. Turn left onto Hazel Hollow Road and continue to U.S. 11.
