George Hays Road in Williamsburg will be closed indefinitely following a collapse Tuesday morning. Above, Mayor Roddy Harrison assesses the damage from the Briar Creek Park side.

The collapse, which stretches the entire width of the road, is at least 20 feet in length, and is impossible to cross with a vehicle. Don’t try.

Williamsburg Mayor Roddy Harrison said he first received a report about the road collapse while he was in a meeting about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when maintenance texted him a picture of the damage.
