NORFOLK — Crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation have reopened the Midtown Tunnel as of 8:30 p.m. Traffic had been rerouted through the Downtown Tunnel since 10:15 this morning.
 
The Midtown Tunnel was closed to prevent potential flooding due to heavy rainfall from yesterday’s storms and today’s nor’easter. Motorists are encouraged to exercise caution while traveling in areas prone to high water.
