More Airport Drive traffic changes planned Oct. 11-14

The Virginia Department of Transportation will implement ramp closures on Airport Drive Oct. 11-14 for paving as part of the ongoing I-64/Airport Drive bridge replacement and interchange improvements project in Henrico County. The ramps will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the following dates:

• Oct. 11: The ramp from Airport Drive (Route 156) north to I-64 east will be closed.
• Oct. 13: The ramp from Airport Drive (Route 156) south to I-64 west will be closed.
• Oct. 14: The loop from Airport Drive (Route 156) to I-64 west will be closed.

Drivers should follow the posted detours during working hours and use caution when in work zones on I-64 and Airport Drive.

The primary purpose of the $35 million project is to replace the I-64 eastbound and westbound bridges over Airport Drive, increase vertical clearance on Airport Drive and perform all necessary approach work to accommodate this vertical increase. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be complete in late 2022.
