Recently Completed: Henrico - I-64 Bridge Replacements over Airport Drive (Route 156)

The primary purpose of this project is to replace the two structurally deficient I-64 eastbound and westbound bridges over Airport Drive (Rt. 156), increase vertical clearance on Airport Drive (Rt. 156) to 16'-6" and perform all necessary approach work to accommodate this vertical increase.

Additionally, the existing full cloverleaf interchange has been converted to a partial cloverleaf (see images below - Ramps B and D are now permanently closed).

During construction, two through lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction of I-64. 

Benefits 

The project will improve safety and efficiency near the Richmond International Airport.
