In Design: Interstate 64 (I-64) at Denbigh Boulevard Interchange Project - Phase 1

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is constructing a new diamond interchange at Interstate 64 (I-64) and Denbigh Boulevard in the City of Newport News. This new interchange would serve as an additional access point along I-64 between Fort Eustis Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue.

This concept will be constructed in two phases.

Phase 1 will construct the westbound I-64 access ramp along with improvements at the Denbigh Boulevard intersections with Warwick Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue. 

Some of the major components of the I-64 at Denbigh Blvd. Interchange Phase 1 project include:

• I-64 west off-ramp
• widen I-64 to support the off-ramp
• I-64 west on-ramp and signal
• widen Denbigh Boulevard for diamond A design
• improvements at Denbigh Boulevard intersections with Warwick Avenue and Jefferson Avenue

Benefits 

Implementing a new interchange is projected to provide additional mobility and access options to the established urban areas of northern Newport News. Additionally, the interchange is projected to divert demand away from other facilities (Jefferson Avenue) and alleviate congestion at adjacent interchanges that are projected to operate near capacity, particularly at the Jefferson Avenue Interchange with I-64.
