Additionally, the continuous, single-lane closures on I-64 east and west that began in July between Settlers Landing Road/Woodland Road (exit 267) and Rip Rap Road have been extended to west of Lasalle Avenue (exit 265). These closures, reducing the corridor from three travel lanes to two in each direction, are estimated to be in place into 2026. Additional traffic shifts will occur as the Hampton River bridges undergo construction.
Single-lane closures may also occur in the project area from west of Mallory Street (exit 268) to LaSalle Avenue (exit 265A) during off-peak travel hours during the daytime and overnight hours.

Motorists are encouraged to use I-664 as an alternate route to avoid the work area when possible and are reminded to use caution when traveling near work zones, obey posted speed limits, be alert to digital message signs and drive distraction-free.
The HREL Hampton Segment will ultimately become a part of the overall HREL Network, a continuous, 46-mile network of Express Lanes in each traffic direction on I-64, from east of Denbigh Boulevard in Newport News to the I-64/I-264/I-664 Bowers Hill interchange in Chesapeake. The HREL Network is designed to transport more motorists through the region while helping to alleviate congestion and allowing motorists more travel options.
