Site work and paving for a road / highway in Newport News, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for paving for a road / highway.

During development of the I-64 Segment II widening project, VDOT determined that the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Yorktown Road would experience increased traffic volumes once Segment II was completed. The increased eastbound volume produced by the adjacent interstate offramp on Yorktown Road will cause a back up on Yorktown Road and onto I-64. To reduce this congestion, the intersection will be modified to create a second eastbound lane continuing on the east side of the intersection. Additional modifications will be made to the intersection to improve efficiency for all traffic movements. The Department of Engineering will apply for Smart Scale grant funding from the Commonwealth Transportation Board to support this project As of March 15, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2023-2027 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2023.
