SOUTH CHESTERFIELD — Starting Sunday night, March 20, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close the ramp from westbound Laburnum Avenue (Route 197) to I-64 west (over I-95) in Richmond for a bridge rehabilitation project.

Weather permitting, the ramp will reopen in November 2022. During the project, drivers can access I-64 west using the following alternatives:

N. Arthur Ashe Blvd. (Rt. 161): Take Hermitage Rd. (Rt. 161) south, continuing onto N. Arthur Ashe Blvd. to I-64 west.

N. Hermitage Rd. (Rt. 161): Take Hermitage Rd. (Rt. 161) north to the Bryan Park I-95/I-64 interchange. Follow signs for I-64 west.

Work started on the $4.5 million project in October 2021. Work is expected to be complete for the entire project in Spring 2023. The project includes joint replacement, deck repair, structural steel repairs, bearing rehabilitation, concrete substructure surface repairs, concrete color coating on the bridge rail, and painting of girder ends. The project will extend the service life of the bridge.
