Hampton Roads • Spring/Summer 2016

It’s an exciting time in the VDOT Hampton Roads District. Significant progress is underway on the Peninsula in the I-64 Widening Segment 1 project corridor, with Segment 2 construction set to begin this summer. On the Southside, construction of the I-64/I-264 Ramp Improvement project starts this fall. I-64 Widening Segment 3 and the I-64 Southside/High Rise Bridge Widening projects are also fully funded for construction. The future is bright, and VDOT Hampton Roads is putting your transportation dollars to work, not only with these large interstate projects, but also smaller projects throughout the 9 counties and 11 cities in our district. In this latest Transportation Update, you’ll see examples of some of the most important projects in each locality, including bridge replacements to ensure safety, widening projects to increase capacity, and construction of new roads to enhance mobility across this diverse region. From design to final construction, VDOT Hampton Roads is committed to delivering them on time and on budget. We are proud to do our part to Keep Virginia Moving.

About the Project: The I-64 Widening Project will provide immediate congestion relief to the roadway corridor. The improvements include the addition of one 12-foot wide travel lane and one 12-foot wide shoulder in each direction to widen this four-lane section of I-64 to a six-lane section. These improvements will increase capacity, minimize geometric and structural deficiencies, provide more lanes for evacuation and improve safety by reducing congestion and improving vehicular level of service. The project is split into three operationally independent segments.

1. Corridor between Jefferson Avenue (Exit 255) and Yorktown Road (Exit 247).

2. Corridor between Yorktown Road (Exit 247) and Hummelsine Pkwy/Rt. 199 (Exit 242).

Norfolk/SuffolkCurrent Status: Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement is underway.

About the Project: VDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have initiated work on a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to reevaluate the Hampton Roads Crossing Study. The study was originally documented in a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and Record of Decision (ROD), both issued in 2001. The study will re-examine the three alternatives that were retained for analysis in the original study, as well as other alternatives that may be identified during the initial scoping process.

VDOT remains on schedule to publish the Draft SEIS in early August. This publication will be announced through a FHWA Notice of Availability in the Federal Register, newspaper and other media announcements, on the study web site, and through emails like this. The Draft SEIS will be made available for a 45-day public comment period. During this time, VDOT will host Location Public Hearings to present the findings of the study and solicit input from the public. Following the close of the public comment period, VDOT will brief the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) on the study and then seek a formal endorsement by the CTB of a preferred alternative. VDOT anticipates CTB action before the end of 2016. Following the identification of the preferred alternative, VDOT will work with FHWA and its other partners to develop a Final SEIS that documents the preferred alternative, provides necessary analyses of this preferred alternative, and responds to public comments on the Draft SEIS. VDOT anticipates publishing this Final SEIS in the spring of 2017. Following the publication of the Final SEIS and update of regional planning documents, VDOT would request a Record of Decision from FHWA to advance the first section of the preferred alternative.

Current Status: Construction begins in Summer 2016. Contract Completion January 2018.

About the Project: Crews will patch the existing concrete deck and overlay the existing bridge deck with an epoxy overlay on the westbound lanes of the Interstate 64 High Rise Bridge. The epoxy-based material prevents excessive water from seeping into the roadway, which through expansion and contraction during hot and cold temperatures, can cause potholes or pooling. Motorists can expect nightly, alternating lane closures. The eastbound lanes were completed ahead of schedule, in April 2012. Additional repairs to the steel superstructure are part of this project.



Greensville County

I-264 Corridor Evaluation Study

Cities of Norfolk/Virginia Beach Cost: $492,500

Current Status: Study complete.

About the Project: The study focused on providing a general digest of the key findings through the analysis of existing and future 2040 forecasted conditions for No Build and Build scenarios.
