The Hampton Roads Express Lanes (HREL) will provide a safe and more reliable travel option for motorists across the region and relieve congestion at key locations along the region's interstate network. The network consists of continuous 45-miles of Express Lanes in each traffic direction on I-64 from west of Denbigh Boulevard in Newport News to the I-264/I-664 Bowers Hill interchange in Chesapeake.
The construction and operations of the Express Lanes network are divided into multiple segments, each with their own start and completion timelines. All work is dependent on weather conditions and the schedule is subject to change. You can read more about which segments are Open, Under Construction and In Design on the tabs at the top of this page.
The HREL and other major transportation improvements ongoing across the Hampton Roads region are the direct result of unified regional leadership and the strong working partnership between the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) our Federal Planning partner, The Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC), our source of regional funding, and the Virginia Department of Transportation, who develops, delivers, operates and maintains the region's interstate system.
