The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is holding a public informational meeting on the I-564 Intermodal Connector project on December 11th. According to VDOT, the purpose of this project is to provide a safe, high-speed, highway connection from the existing I-564 to the Norfolk International Terminals and the Norfolk Naval Station. This road realignment will alleviate congestion and improve the level of service on city and naval station streets. The road repositioning will also reduce truck traffic on the adjacent roadways, in addition to being the first section in place for the proposed next project, Patriot's Crossing.
