Roanoke traffic alert flags Campbell-1st Street intersection closure impacts

The City of Roanoke's official news feed logged a March 10, 2026 traffic alert for the Campbell Avenue SW and 1st Street SW area, identifying temporary travel impacts tied to city work activity.

The notice was issued as an operational travel advisory, signaling potential detours and slower commute flow for downtown and near-downtown trips during the active closure window.
