VDOT to hear public comments on I-264 Lynnhaven project

Transportation officials will listen to public comments on the location and design of the Interstate 264 Lynnhaven Parkway interchange project tomorrow evening in Virginia Beach.

The meeting, from 4 to 7 p.m., will be held at Plaza Middle School, 3080 S. Lynnhaven Road, according to a Virginia Department of Transportation news release.

Comments will be taken on the first part of the project, which is the design and construction of a ramp from I-264 to London Bridge Road and a ramp from the road onto the interstate, the release says.

VDOT plans to advertise for the construction of the $22 million project by mid-2010, the release says.

The second part of the project, improvements to the I-264 interchange with Lynnhaven Parkway, hasn’t been scheduled because of insufficient funds, the release says.

Written and verbal comments will be taken tomorrow night, according to the release. The public also can send written comments that will be included in the public hearing transcript. Send written comments within 10 calendar days of the meeting to Adam J. Jack, P.E., Virginia Department of Transportation, Hampton Roads District, 1700 N. Main St., Suffolk, Va., 23434.
