    PROJECT

    OVERVIEW

  • The I-564 Intermodal Connector

    WILL BE DESIGNED TO

    ALLEVIATE LOCAL

    TRAFFIC CONGESTION,

    REDIRECT HEAVY TRUCK

    TRAFFIC FROM NORFOLK

    CITY STREETS, AND

    PROVIDE IMPROVED

    ACCESS FOR THE

    ESTIMATED 80,000

    VEHICLES ENTERING

    AND EXITING THE NAVY

    BASE EVERY DAY.

    COST: $92.9 MILLION

    PROJECT SCOPE

    Design and construction of a new 2.82-mile, four-lane limited access highway

    Construction of multiple new bridges and local connectors

    A reconfigured Commercial Vehicle Inspection Station (CVIS) for NSN

    Relocation of NSN Gate 6 (entry control point)

    Relocation of NSNs Patrol Road

    Construction of a new access road to the Virginia Port Authoritys North Gate Terminal

    PROJECT BENEFITS

    The extension of I-564 will help streamline Hampton Roads transportation network, resulting in direct freight access and increased cargo efficiencies at NIT and the Port of Virginia.

    Significant relief from Norfolks Hampton Boulevard which currently serves NIT, coupled with more fluid and direct commuter access to NSN, will help improve safety and security for a region known for its vital military presence.

    The I-564 Intermodal Connector will serve as a critical link to the future Patriots Crossing, a significant transportation project designed to improve congestion at the I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel.

    PROJECT SCHEDULE

    Start of Construction: Summer 2015 Expected Final Completion: Summer 2017

    PROJECT IMPACTS

    Every effort will be made to minimize impacts to motorists during construction. However, it may be necessary to shift or close travel lanes on I-564 at various times and locations to complete the project work safely.

    Construction will be scheduled primarily during travel periods when traffic volumes are lower to reduce impact to motorists.

    Roadway lanes on I-564 will be open during peak travel times with restricted lane closures during off-peak hours.

    Project work will be suspended during significant government holidays.
