The district includes the counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Buckingham, Campbell, Charlotte, Cumberland, Halifax, Nelson, Pittsylvania and Prince Edward in the south-central portion of the state.
Motorists should be particularly careful on bridges, overpasses, turn lanes, ramps and intersections, as well as roads at higher elevations. In the northern part of the district, routes 6, 56, 60, 151, 250 and 664 in Nelson County and Route 60 in Amherst County reportedly have of some ice and caution is urged. Abrasives and chemicals have been applied, as needed, on some of the worst spots left from the Tuesday-Wednesday winter weather.
