Scheduled road closures and traffic shifts are expected across the Hampton Roads District from July 27 to August 2, 2025. These disruptions will affect major interstates, ramps, bridges, and tunnels.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) advises travelers to check for updates on closures due to weather or other factors by visiting their website or using the VDOT 511 app.

Interstate work includes multiple lane closures as part of ongoing projects such as the HRBT Expansion Project and HREL initiatives in Norfolk and Newport News/Hampton areas. These include temporary traffic shifts and long-term lane reductions affecting various sections of I-64.
