NORFOLK – Starting as early as tonight, Monday, Feb. 12, contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are scheduled to implement a series of overnight ramp closures along I-64 as part of construction for the Hampton Roads Express Lanes (HREL) Norfolk Segment.
This work includes the full closures of the I-64 east and west on- and off-ramps to Tidewater Drive north and south (exit 277) between Feb. 12-19 from as early as 8 p.m. until as late as 5 a.m. All ramps will not be closed at the same time.
Signed detour routes will be in place to direct motorists.
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.org website and mobile app offer information about construction, traffic, incidents, and congestion, as well as access to traffic cameras, weather-related impacts and more.
This construction work is weather- and schedule-dependent; therefore, this schedule is subject to change.

The HREL Norfolk Segment will ultimately become a part of the overall HREL network, a continuous, 45-mile network of Express Lanes in each traffic direction on I-64, from east of Denbigh Boulevard in Newport News to the I-64/I-264/I-664 Bowers Hill Interchange in Chesapeake. The HREL network is designed to transport more motorists through the region while helping to alleviate congestion and providing motorists more travel options.
