Temporary on-ramp closure with detour, starting as early as July 25 through July 28
As part of the first phase of construction for the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) Hampton Roads Express Lanes Norfolk Segment, contractor crews are scheduled to implement a continuous weekend full closure of the East Little Creek Road on-ramp to I-64 east starting as early as Friday, July 25 at 11 p.m. through Monday, July 28 at 5 a.m. to perform necessary ramp maintenance.
During the full weekend closure, a signed detour will be in place to direct traffic as follows.
- Motorists traveling westbound on East Little Creek Road will be directed to Granby Street, East Admiral Taussig Boulevard, returning to East Little Creek Road to Tidewater Drive and Thole Street to access the on-ramp to I-64 east.
- Motorists traveling eastbound on East Little Creek Road will be directed to continue on East Little Creek Road to Tidewater Drive and Thole Street to access the on-ramp to I-64 east.
All work is weather- and schedule-dependent; therefore, this schedule is subject to change.
Before hitting the road, consider using VDOT’s free 511 Virginia traffic tools, or the free 511-integrated Waze GPS app, to check for the most up-to-date road and travel conditions. VDOT’s 511Virginia website and mobile app offer information about construction, traffic, incidents, and congestion, as well as access to traffic cameras, weather-related impacts and more.
Hampton Roads Express Lanes Norfolk Segment (Phase 1A) Project:This work is part of the first phase of HREL Norfolk Segment construction projects, that started in summer 2023 and includes the conversion of the existing inside shoulder along I-64 into a high-occupancy tolled, part-time shoulder Express Lane running alongside the three existing general purpose lanes between Patrol Road and Tidewater Drive for a total of 2 miles, as well as the widening and rehabilitation of several existing bridges on I-64.
This HREL Norfolk Segment will ultimately become a part of an overall continuous 45-mile high-occupancy toll Express Lanes network on I-64, from west of Denbigh Boulevard in Newport News to the I-264/I-664 Bowers Hill interchange in Chesapeake. As traffic demand continues to increase in the region, incorporating the Express Lanes dynamic tolling model, together with other interstate improvements, provides an additional approach to managing congestion in the long term and providing more travel choices and a reliable travel network for Hampton Roads motorists.
