 ** VDOT will conduct routine tide gate testing at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) beginning at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8, to ensure tunnel facilities are prepared for possible adverse weather conditions. Motorists traveling on Interstate 64 east to the HRBT during this time should expect to be stopped for up to 60 minutes. To avoid delays, motorists are encouraged to use the Interstate 664 Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel (MMMBT) as an alternate route. 

• 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. – all eastbound traffic stopped 
• 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. – all westbound traffic stopped ** 

As part of the HRBT Expansion Project, construction crews will implement weekly lane closures, detours and traffic pacing on local roads, I-64 and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. Travel restrictions include possible delays, reduced speeds and detours in some areas. Lane closures, detours and traffic pacing are subject to change based on weather conditions and other factors.

NOTE: Check the project webpage often for the latest updates to the weekly lane closures.
