Local towing context

How does towing work in Shockoe Bottom?

Richmond Core calls run straight through the I-95/I-64 overlap downtown, a three-mile stretch VDOT itself calls one of the region's highest-crash, most congested corridors, so an afternoon breakdown here often means a truck fighting the same Broad Street and Downtown Expressway traffic you are. We stage drivers across The Fan, Carytown, Church Hill, Manchester, and Scott's Addition's brewery district, so a call from the Fan's narrow one-way Victorian streets to Southside's Midlothian Turnpike corridor lands in a similar window. Dense VCU-area student parking around The Fan and Court End keeps lockout and jump-start volume steady, while Shockoe Bottom's low blocks still flood fast whenever a summer thunderstorm outruns the storm drains, the same tributary flooding that put the district under ten feet of water during Hurricane Gaston in 2004.
