NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A new traffic pattern on I-64 west between Tidewater Drive and Patrol Road in Norfolk is scheduled to start around late January.
The change comes as part of bridge rehabilitation work on the Granby Street and East Little Creek Road overpasses in preparation for phase one of the Hampton Roads Express Lanes Norfolk Segment.
- One I-64 west mainline lane will be closed near East Little Creek Road (exit 276C) until late 2025.
- Motorists traveling west toward the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel will have a new, temporary general purpose lane as an alternate lane for I-64 west traffic.
- This lane will be accessed from a newly constructed left entrance ramp on I-64 west after Tidewater Drive (exit 277) and before Little Creek Road (exit 276C).
- Motorists using the new alternate lane will only be able to exit at the Reversible Express Lanes exit to I-64 west after Granby Street.
- This lane will not have access to the East Little Creek Road, I-564 or Granby Street exits (exits 276 A/B/C).
- One I-64 west through lane will remain open along the existing mainline and will provide access to all exits along I-64 west.
- The two additional lanes on I-64 west leading to I-564 will remain unchanged in their current configuration.
- The new I-64 west alternate lane will merge back into the I-64 west mainline past Patrol Road and continue west toward the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT).
This road configuration is scheduled to be implemented over a series of nights starting as early as the week of Jan. 27.
The Reversible Express Lanes will continue to operate as normal during this new traffic pattern, which is estimated to be in place through fall 2025…
