NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) temporarily closed I-64 in Norfolk overnight in both directions of travel to install an overhead sign as part of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project.
The closure was scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 23, at the Willoughby Bridge.
The full closure took place between 12:01 a.m. and 4 a.m., impacting traffic on I-64 east and west. Westbound traffic was diverted at the 4th View off ramp (Exit 273) and directed to take West Ocean View Avenue through Willoughby, returning to the interstate at the 15th View on ramp.
Eastbound traffic was directed off the interstate at the Bayville Street/Ocean View exit (Exit 272), turning left onto 13th View Street, then right onto West Ocean View Avenue, and finally right onto 4th View Street to return to the eastbound interstate at the 4th View on ramp.
Motorists were encouraged to use I-664 as an alternate route to avoid the work area. VDOT advised drivers to exercise caution near work zones, obey posted speed limits, and remain alert to digital message signs.
All construction schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Motorists should check the project website’s Traffic Alerts page for updates.
