Route 164 Corridor Study Proposed Concepts
Route 164 Corridor Study Proposed Concepts
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is currently studying ways to make the Route 164 (Western Freeway) Corridor safer and less congested in Portsmouth. By gathering traffic data and initial public feedback, the study team has identified specific interchanges within the corridor as areas with traffic safety concerns and heavy congestion during rush hours, and traffic is expected to grow even more in the future.
At this stage, the study has been tasked with proposing and developing initial design concepts to improve safety and traffic flow within the corridor for everyone who uses it, including community drivers, commuters, pedestrians and commercial truck drivers. We are pleased to offer the community the opportunity to review these initial design concepts and provide feedback. Input received will help roadway engineers identify possible adjustments to the concepts in future phases. This survey will be collecting responses through January 20, 2026.
Map of Route 164 Corridor Study and Interchanges:
In this survey, you’ll have a chance to review and share feedback on several concepts currently being considered at each of these four Route 164 interchanges, by moving through the tabs in this survey:
* Towne Point Road
* Cedar Lane
* Virginia International Gateway (VIG)
* West Norfolk Road
For each interchange, you’ll be presented with one or more concept options that provide different methods to improve safety and reduce congestion. After reviewing each concept, you’ll be asked to rate the individual option on a scale from 1 to 5, as well as an option to provide text comments. There will also be the option at each interchange to rate the "do nothing" option which proposes leaving the interchange and roadway in its current configuration with no new changes.
All feedback provided will help designers make necessary adjustments and identify preferred options that may be developed into future projects.
