Eight-lane widening with HOV lanes, was completed in July 2006, on the 10.7 miles of I-64 from 0.5 mile west of Bland Boulevard in Newport News, to the I-664 westerly ramps with I-64 in Hampton. There were earlier I-64 widening projects to the east of the current projects, to the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT), and future I-64 widening projects are planned to the west of the current projects, to Richmond. The I-64 highway and these projects are administered by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
The four widening projects on the 10.7 mile segment of I-64 described above, have been completed to eight lanes, with the easternmost project completed in July 2006. In December 2001, two new HOV-2 lanes, one eastbound and one westbound, opened on the 7.6-mile-long section of I-64 between near the Bland Boulevard overpass and Hampton Roads Center Parkway, thus adding new 7th and 8th lanes to the new 5th and 6th lanes that were opened earlier in 2001. By July 2006, the HOV lanes were extended to I-664. The inside lane each way on this 10.7 miles of I-64 are concurrent flow HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes that are HOV-2 during peak morning and evening weekday hours. So three lanes each way are general purpose lanes open to all motor vehicle traffic at all times, and the inside lane each way is HOV-2 (each vehicle must have at least two people) during peak periods and is open to all traffic during non-peak times.
The final 2.5-mile-long I-64 widening project between Hampton Roads Center Parkway and I-664, the Coliseum Central Project, was placed under construction in June 2001 and was completed in July 2006, and it included major expansion to the US-258 Mercury Boulevard interchange, and it added one lane each way to the I-64 highway which was formerly three lanes each way, and the new lanes are on the inside of each roadway and have the same HOV-2 peak period restrictions as described above. Actually, including auxiliary lanes added on the right of each I-64 roadway, the I-64 highway has 10 lanes (5 each way) between Hampton Roads Center Parkway and VA-134 Magruder Boulevard, 12 lanes (6 each way) between Magruder Boulevard and US-258 Mercury Boulevard, and 10 lanes (5 each way) between Mercury Boulevard and I-664. I-64 is a very wide highway in that segment.
