NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Motorists traveling along I-64 in Norfolk can expect new traffic patterns between Patrol Road and Tidewater Drive (exit 277).
The traffic shifts will allow crews to stripe the roadway, install barriers and perform other construction activities for the Hampton Roads Express Lanes (HREL) Norfolk Segment.
- Starting as early as Jan. 29, I-64 east traffic in this corridor will shift to the left toward the inside median.
- Starting as early as Tuesday, Feb. 6, I-64 west traffic between Tidewater Drive and Little Creek Road (exit 276) will shift to the left toward the inside median.
A spokesperson for VDOT say the new traffic pattern is estimated be in place until early 2025.
To prepare for the new traffic pattern, a series of temporary, overnight ramp closures are scheduled to take place along the I-64 corridor.
The estimated closure schedule is listed below:
- I-64 east on-ramp from Granby Street Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- I-64 east off-ramp to I-564 west/Granby Street (exit 276A) Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, from as early as 7 p.m. to as late as 8 a.m.
- I-64 east on-ramp from Tidewater Drive south Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- I-64 east off-ramp to Tidewater Drive north (exit 277B) Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, from as early as 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- I-64 east on-ramp from Tidewater Drive north Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- I-64 east on-ramp from Little Creek Road (brief, intermittent stoppages) Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, from 11:59 p.m. to 4 a.m.
- I-564 east ramp to I-64 east Jan. 30 to Feb. 1, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Signs will be in place to direct motorist and closures will be announced as scheduled.
