HAMPTON — The Virginia Department of Transportation announced contractor crews are scheduled to implement overnight full directional closures lasting up to four hours each on I-64 east in Hampton.
The closures, slated for as early as Dec. 17 and 18, are to support overhead sign installations as part of the Hampton Roads Express Lanes Hampton Segment project.
VDOT said the full four-hour closures will occur on I-64 east from Rip Rap Road — exit 265C — to Settlers Landing Road/Woodland Road — exit 267 — with signed detours in place. All work is weather- and schedule-dependent and subject to change. The backup date is Dec. 19.
- I-64 East Full Closures: All lanes on I-64 east will be closed overnight starting as early as Wednesday, Dec. 17, and Thursday, Dec. 18, from 12:01 a.m. to 4 a.m., between Rip Rap Road and Settlers Landing Road/Woodland Road. Signed detours will be in place, directing motorists from I-64 east to exit at Rip Rap Road — exit 265C — and travel to North Armistead Avenue and Settlers Landing Road to access the on-ramp to I-64 east.
- Other Traffic Impacts: Starting as early as 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 16, and Wednesday, Dec. 17, the contractor will begin implementing single-lane closures on I-64 in both directions, leading up to the full eastbound closures beginning at midnight.
VDOT encourages motorists to use I-664 as an alternate route to avoid the work area when possible, and reminds drivers to use caution when traveling near work zones, obey posted speed limits, follow lane markings and barrier guides, be alert to digital message signs and drive distraction-free.
