      Traffic Impacts 
      Lane Closures:
      Weeknight east- and westbound alternating single-lane closures, Sundays through Thursdays, beginning as early as 7 p.m. and ending at  5 a.m. the following morning between Jefferson Avenue (exit 255) and Route 199/Humelsine Parkway (exit 242).

      One travel lane in each direction will remain open to traffic at all times.  All construction work is dependent upon weather conditions.

      Traveling in the Work Zone: 
      Westbound truck traffic on Interstate 64 is now restricted to the right lane between Jefferson Avenue (exit 255) and Yorktown Road (exit 247). A reduced 55mph speed limit is also in effect 24/7 in this area in both the east- and westbound directions.

      Once construction barriers and median work begin in Segment II, the reduced 55mph speed limit will be extended to Route 199 (Humelsine Parkway). 
      Alternate Routes:
      Beat the backups and find alternate routes around the work zone by viewing the Alternate Routes Map now available on the I-64 Widening web site. 
      REDUCED SPEED AHEAD
        Please obey the reduced 55mph speed limit which is in effect 24/7 in both the east- and westbound work zones of the project between Jefferson Avenue (exit 255) and Lee Hall (exit 247). Once construction barriers and median work begin in Segment II the reduced 55mph speed limit will be extended to Route 199 (Humelsine Parkway/Marquis Center Parkway) near exit 242.
