MEDIAN WORK ON NEWTOWN ROAD TO TEMPORARILY AFFECT CENTER DRIVE ACCESS IN NORFOLK

Single-lane closure in place on southbound Newtown Road at Center Drive; Detour in place to access Center Drive

NORFOLK – As construction continues on the I-64/I-264 Interchange Improvements Project, contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation will implement a single-lane closure on southbound Newtown Road at Center Drive, as well as a closure of the right-turn lane from southbound Newtown Road onto Center Drive, continuously, starting as early as 7 p.m. tonight through 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 23.


The right-turn lane closure will be lifted temporarily on Friday, April 22, from 6-9 a.m.

Access to Center Drive from northbound Newtown Road will remain open at all times.


While the right-lane closure is in place, motorists on southbound Newtown Road can access Center Drive by:

  • Continuing south on Newtown Road;
  • Turning right onto Kempsville Road; and
  • Turning right to re-access Center Drive.


The single-lane and right-turn lane closures will allow for crews to safely perform median work in this location. Motorists should stay alert and be mindful of crews working alongside the roadway.


This work is weather-dependent and subject to change.

For more information on the improvements coming to the I-64/I-264 Interchange and the Newtown and Witchduck ramps, visit www.i64i264improvements.org.
