JOINT DESIGN PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD ON PROPOSED PLANS FOR NEW I-64 INTERCHANGE AT DENBIGH BOULEVARD IN NEWPORT NEWS    

Public invited to learn about proposed plans on two projects to construct a new diamond interchange at Denbigh Boulevard designed to improve safety, reduce congestion and expand access to local area  

NEWPORT NEWS — The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will hold a combined in-person design public hearing on Tuesday, June 25, to share information and receive feedback on the two projects’ proposed plans to construct a new diamond interchange on Interstate 64 (I-64) at Denbigh Boulevard designed to improve safety, reduce congestion and expand access to the local area.    

Collectively the two proposed projects referred to as “Phase 1” and “Phase 2” will provide a new I-64 interchange between Fort Eustis Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue in Newport News. The “Phase 1” project includes the construction of the I-64 west on-and off-ramps at Denbigh Boulevard, as well as improvements to the Denbigh Boulevard intersections at Warwick Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue. “Phase 2” involves the construction of the I-64 east on-and off-ramps and the widening of the bridge on Denbigh Boulevard over I-64 and the CSX railroad tracks to accommodate new ramp turn lanes.
