I-64 Southside Widening and High Rise Bridge Project

Upcoming Scheduled Lane and Ramp Closures

Feb. 23 to March 1

Motorists can now enjoy the benefits of a new third travel lane open on I-64 between the I-664/I-264 Bowers Hill interchange and the I-464 interchange in Chesapeake. 

These new lanes, combined with VDOT’s recent conversion of the previous HOV-2 restricted lanes to Express Lanes between the I-464 and I-264 interchanges, establishes the new Hampton Roads Express Lanes Chesapeake Segment that will soon operate as high-occupancy tolled Express Lanes to help manage traffic flow and congestion on I-64 between the I-664/I-264 Bowers Hill interchange in Chesapeake and the I-264 interchange in Norfolk.

Motorists can anticipate the following scheduled lane and ramp closures below as contractor crews continue to complete work along the corridor. With the opening of the third travel lane (Express Lane), the majority of the temperature-sensitive surface asphalt paving is completed. All construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.

To view additional project-related traffic impacts, visit the traffic alerts section of the project website.

Before traveling, check roadway conditions by using VDOT’s free mobile app, which offers information about road conditions, traffic, incidents, construction, and congestion, as well as access to traffic cameras, weather, and more. Information is also available at 511Virginia.org or by calling 511 while in Virginia.
