NEW, THIRD TRAVEL LANE OPENS ALONG EASTERN PROJECT LIMITS OF I-64 WIDENING PROJECT
Increased capacity for traffic on I-64 east between exits 238 and 242 as of June 22
YORK COUNTY – As of overnight on Tuesday, June 22, contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) I-64 Widening Segment III Project have increased vehicle capacity eastbound by opening approximately two miles of a third travel lane to traffic. Following overnight operations to adjust traffic barriers, motorists are now able to utilize a third lane for travel on I-64 east between the on-ramp at Route 143 (exit 238) to the eastern limits of the project, just west of Route 199 (exit 242).
Lane closures will continue as needed in this section of I-64, as well as throughout the project corridor. Crews will also be implementing lane closures to place the final surface layer of pavement across all lanes to create a smooth riding surface throughout the project corridor.
Motorists are reminded to continue to obey the reduced work zone speed limit of 55 mph on I-64 and to drive with caution when traveling in the project work zone.
All project work and scheduled closures are dependent upon weather conditions.
