I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) required significant roadway expansion for this $3.8 billion project, the largest in VDOT history, to accommodate more travelers throughout the Chesapeake Bay area.

DRMP provided CEI services for this project, which expanded from 1mile on the Hampton side of the Chesapeake Bay, beneath the Bay by way of two bored tunnels, then 4miles along south I-64 through Norfolk, for a total of 10miles of new roadway and toll lanes. Construction of the customized TBM began in 2020 and is expected to be completed and assembled at the South Island to begin drilling. DRMP’s CEI team provided quality control testing and materials testing/inspection of all features of work. Project coordination included working with stakeholders from the U.S. Navy (Naval Station Norfolk), U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the City of Norfolk, the City of Hampton, and numerous utility agencies. The project’s expected completion date is 2026.

DRMP’s years of CEI experience are currently benefitting the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia as it is being expanded to accommodate current and future growth.
