弗吉尼亚州的运输部已授予一份4.096亿美元的合同，以改善切萨皮克的I-64，到总部位于纽约州塔里敦的Ganite Construction，Parsons和Corman Construction的合资企业。The project, the agency’s largest design-build award for infrastructure not involving a public-private partnership, includes construction of a three-lane bridge to parallel the existing four-lane High Rise Bridge, a 45-year-old bascule structure that currently carries 73,000 vehicles a day over the southern branch of the Elizabeth River. In addition, an eight-mile corridor of I-64 will be widened to six from four lanes to accommodate a new high- occupancy toll lane in each direction. Plans call for the new structure to provide 100 ft of clearance for marine traffic. The existing 65-ft-high bridge will remain in service to carry three lanes of westbound I-64 traffic until funds are available for a full replacement. The project is scheduled for completion in 2021.
