New traffic patterns on Airport Drive to begin Jan. 26
Table of Contents
A new traffic pattern will take effect on Airport Drive Jan. 26.
At 9 a.m. that day, the Virginia Department of Transportation will implement the new pattern as part of the I-64/Airport Drive bridge replacement and interchange improvements project.
All northbound and southbound lanes of the road will be shifted onto the existing northbound side of Airport Drive for crews to begin work in the southbound lanes. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction. Both directions of traffic are currently operating in the southbound lanes.
Weather permitting, the traffic shift will be complete by 5 p.m. Jan. 27.
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.
