RICHMOND, Va. – Three teams have been invited to submit proposals and prices for the design and construction of the I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel expansion project.
The HRBT expansion project consists of a new four-lane bridge-tunnel and a widening of the existing four-lane segments of I-64 between Settlers Landing and I-564 to ease congestion between Hampton and Norfolk. The project completion is targeted for 2024.
The Virginia Department of Transportation says all three teams are from the private sector.
