Traffic on Interstate 64 will be diverted onto the new segment of the Mallory Street Bridge in Hampton starting Friday as part of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project.
The new traffic pattern for eastbound and westbound traffic on the Mallory Street Bridge will begin at 7 p.m. Friday. This change marks the end of the first phase of the reconstruction of the bridge to accommodate the ongoing widening of the HRBT.
Switching to this new segment will allow traffic to continue while crews demolish the rest of the old bridge and rebuild it, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. VDOT has not provided a timeline for completion of the new segment.
Emergency vehicles’ access to the VA Medical Center and Hampton University will not be impacted by the construction, according to VDOT.
