A sinkhole from a water main break opened Tuesday near I-264 on City Hall Avenue + it trapped a driver and led her family to demand safer roads while crews repair the pipe, with the street set to reopen Friday morning.

Norfolk's trilogy weekend attracted nearly 50,000 visitors and earned $50 million as Juneteenth, Harborfest, and Sail250 brought record crowds, busy vendors & fireworks lighting the waterfront; officials noted increased transit and parking revenue while festivities celebrated Norfolk's historic Emancipation Day observance.
