I-64 Southside Widening and High Rise Bridge Project

Scheduled Lane and Ramp Closures for Jan. 19-26

Contractor crews for the I-64 Southside Widening and High Rise Bridge Project continue to advance critical construction activities during the upcoming winter months. To provide additional opportunities for contractor crews to perform the remaining temperature-sensitive work such as final surface asphalt paving and pavement markings, the project team has been implementing additional daytime and weekend lane and ramp closures when temperatures are warmer.


Motorists can anticipate the scheduled ramp and lane closures below. All construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
