CHARLOTTSVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – UPDATED 1:41 p.m: Albemarle Police are still determining what type of vehicle hit the Old Ivy Road overpass under construction that knocked a beam out of place and has 29 shut down in both directions.

Some initial witnesses reported a semi, but police say they are getting conflicting reports.

No word on how long the road will be shut down, though Albemarle Police say it could be an extended closure.

Avoid the area… exit southbound at Barracks… northbound preferably at Fontaine, and it will be an extremely slow go to Ivy.
