The $445 million project is part of the Hampton Roads Express Lanes Network, a 45-mile system of continuous express lanes along I-64.  “Segment 4C” will address one of the region’s most significant chokepoints, 2.5 miles from LaSalle Avenue to Settlers Landing Road, by constructing one full-time express lane, one part-time express lane, and two general-purpose lanes in each direction. Hampton Road Transit Buses will bypass the general-purpose lanes, generating lower carbon emissions and faster travel times for transit riders, better serving an area with a growing population of more than 1.7 million. 

VDOT expects to complete the project in late 2026. Additional improvements include constructing noise walls, replacing the eastbound Hampton River bridges, and rehabilitating four bridges at Hampton River, King Street, and Settlers Landing Road. Travel time savings are expected to range between 10-15 minutes in the express lanes and 10 minutes in the general-purpose lanes.
