WILLIAMSBURG — The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will hold a design public hearing on Thursday, Aug. 24, to present the proposed plans for widening 9 miles of Interstate 64 (I-64) in James City County. This project segment, referred to as Segment C, is the second of three I-64 Gap Widening Projects planned to expand the I-64 corridor from four to six lanes, alleviating congestion and bridging the remaining “gap” of unwidened interstate between Hampton Roads and Richmond.

Plans for the Segment C project include the addition of one travel lane on I-64 in each direction, from the New Kent-James City County line to approximately 1.2 miles west of Route 199/Lightfoot (exit 234). Additional improvements include the widening and rehabilitation of the two bridges over Six Mount Zion Road, as well as paving the Lightfoot Park & Ride lot in York County.

Thursday, Aug. 24, 5-7 p.m.
