Project Overview
Several years ago, 28 high-mast interstate lighting units were removed at the I-264/I-64 Interchange because of aging light pole structures. The I-264/I-64 Interchange Lighting Upgrade project will replace the lighting units on both the east and westbound lanes of I-64 and I-264. This project will re-install lighting (23 poles) at four interchanges along I-64; the interchanges include Northampton Boulevard, Tidewater Drive, Chesapeake Boulevard, and LaSalle Avenue. A second project is being developed to replace the remaining poles and is scheduled for advertisement in May 2014.
Current Status
Crews began placing light poles in March 2013. The new lights have all of their illumination focused toward the ground reducing light pollution into the upper atmosphere and light trespass beyond the interchange. All of the lights will be illuminated at the same time to avoid dark zones on the interstate.
