NORFOLK, Va. — Residents commuting to and from Norfolk may notice more road closures and detours this fall.
The Virginia Department of Transportation says contractor crews are implementing multi-week closures that are expected to impact the I-64 Reversible Express Lanes in Norfolk, located between I-264 and I-564.
Crews will be facilitating roadway activities and bridge widening as part of construction for the first phase of the Hampton Roads Express Lane Norfolk Segment.
Watch: HRBT Expansion could be completed by September 2026
Road closures are estimated to begin as early as 5 a.m. on Sept. 9, through mid-fall, and will be impacted for approximately seven weeks.
A continuous single lane closure will be in place for both directions of the Reversible Express Lanes between just west of Tidewater Drive (exit 277) and east of I-564 and Granby Street (exit 276).
Traveling I-64 West:
The Reversible Express Lanes westbound exit ramp to the I-64 west mainline will be closed at the I-564 interchange.
Drivers on westbound Express Lanes will be prohibited from exiting to the I-64 west general purpose lanes. As a result, all drivers traveling the westbound Reversible Express Lanes must exit to I-564 during the closure.
