What's Being Done

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have initiated a study of the Interstate 64 corridor from I-95 in Richmond to I-664 in Hampton. 

The purpose of this study is to identify transportation needs within the I-64 corridor and to evaluate the impacts of proposed improvements to meet those needs. 

The study area is approximately 75 miles long.

What is an open forum citizen information meeting? 
An open forum citizen information meeting (open house) encourages one-on-one discussions in an informal setting. This style of meeting has an easy, open and encouraging effect on citizens and can be very helpful in building a sense of consensus between the Department and citizens. At the meeting, people familiar with all facets and features of the project visually display their information. The purpose of the open forum may be to suggest solutions or may simply be to give information and facts. The process is highly interactive with technical people presenting and fielding questions from communities, individual citizens, or small groups.
