Projects

The projects included are a result of the regional transportation planning process. Following a series of analyses beginning in 1999, the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) identified a package of six projects that need additional state funding and tolls. The General Assembly met that need via HB 3202.

The projects outlined in HB 3202, in no particular order, are:

1. The Third Crossing

• Phase 1 - widening I-664 from Bowers Hill to Hampton
• Phase 2 - a bridge-tunnel running between the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel and I-564 in Norfolk; a connector traversing Craney Island, running between the above bridge-tunnel and the Western Freeway

2. The Southeastern Parkway/Dominion Boulevard
3. Midtown Tunnel/Martin Luther King Freeway Extension
4. U.S. Route 460
5. Widening I-64 (Peninsula) to Route 199
6. Widening I-64 (Southside, including the High-Rise Bridge) from Battlefield Boulevard to Bowers Hill
