Background
The purpose of this study is to identify project recommendations for the Bland Boulevard from Warwick Boulevard (Route 60) to Jefferson Avenue (Route 143) and Jefferson Avenue (Route 143) from Bland Boulevard to Denbigh Boulevard corridors in the city of Newport News. With the upcoming I-64/Denbigh Boulevard interchange, the anticipated shift in traffic is expected to put additional demand on Bland Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue (Route 143). This study will focus on improving roadway and pedestrian safety, multimodal accessibility/connectivity (bicycle, pedestrian and transit), and transportation demand management (TDM) needs. The project recommendations that come from this study will be developed into funding applications for VDOT's SMART SCALE program and other transportation funding programs.
This Phase 2 survey is intended to obtain public input on the alternatives under consideration to address the issues that were identified by the study team.
