Segment 3 (Completed)
York County
The third operationally-independent segment is in York County.
The purpose is to widen Interstate 64 from approximately 1.15 miles west of Route 199, Lightfoot (Exit 234), to 1.05 miles west of Route 199, Humelsine Parkway / Marquis Center Parkway (Exit 242).
This will extend the three lane section of I-64 from the point where the I-64 Segment II project ends west for approximately 8.2 miles.
- Drainage improvements
- Storm water management facilities
- Sign structure replacements
- Corridor-wide landscaping
The widening will generally take place in the median of the existing interstate, limiting the amount of right of way required to construct the project and avoiding impacts to existing interchanges.
These improvements will increase capacity, bring portions of the interstate up to current design standards, provide more lanes for evacuation and improve safety by reducing congestion and improving vehicular level of service.
The proposed improvements contribute to the Preferred Alternative and contribute to the Purpose and Need elements outlined in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).
The final design noise analysis was completed in fall 2018 and can be viewed here.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) worked with the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC) to obtain funding for Segment III.
