NORFOLK - The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is studying ways to enhance safety, improve mobility and reduce congestion through a STARS (Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions) study in the vicinity of the I-264/Brambleton Avenue interchange in Norfolk.
The STARS studies help identify safety and operational improvements with comprehensive, innovative transportation solutions that relieve congestion bottlenecks and solve critical traffic and safety challenges throughout the commonwealth.
This study is considering improvements at the I-264/Brambleton Avenue interchange area, from the Park Avenue intersection in the north to the Kimball Terrace intersection in the south. Specifically, the main concern in this study area is congestion on the I-264 west off-ramp to Brambleton Avenue northbound in the morning peak hour that causes queues on I-264.
Some of these potential improvements include:
· Improved traffic signal timing/operations;
· Modification to intersection lane configurations;
· Pedestrian/bicycle facilities; and
