RELEASE: IMMEDIATE CONTACT: Emily Tuttle, 757-956-3028 Media Line: 757-956-3032 HamptonRoadsPublicInfo@VDOT.Virginia.gov June 20, 2025 LONG-TERM CLOSURE OF LIGHTFOOT PARK AND RIDE LOT IN YORK COUNTY SCHEDULED TO BEGIN AS EARLY AS JUNE 23 Closure in place through late 2025 for lot improvements as part of I-64 Gap Segment C Widening Project YORK COUNTY - Starting as early as June 23, contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are scheduled to temporarily close the Lightfoot Park and Ride lot, located at 617 East Rochambeau Drive in York County, for paving and reconstruction.   Improvements to the existing gravel commuter lot, adjacent to the I-64/Route 199 Lightfoot interchange, include new asphalt pavement and markings for 68 parking spaces, including three Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant spaces. The reconstruction will also feature the addition of five bike racks, updated parking signs and lighting, and the construction of a stormwater management pond.   The improved Park and Ride lot is estimated to reopen in late 2025.   This work is part of the I-64 Gap Segment C Widening Project, which began in November 2024. The Segment C project includes 9 miles of I-64 roadway widening and pavement rehabilitation from the New Kent/James City County line to approximately 1.15 miles west of the Route 199 Lightfoot exit (exit 234). In addition to widening I-64, the project also includes the repair, rehabilitation and widening of two bridges on I-64 east and west over Six Mount Zion Road.   The I-64 Gap Widening projects have been divided into three segments labeled Segments A, B, and C, with each being constructed as an operationally independent project to enhance connectivity between Richmond and Hampton Roads. The collective objective involves improving congestion and safety in this corridor by widening approximately 29 miles of travel lanes, adding a 12-foot-wide third lane and 10-foot-wide paved shoulders in both directions. The I-64 corridor within these project segments currently only provides two lanes in each direction and links to sections at both ends that have three travel lanes–hence, this corridor has been deemed “the gap.”   The I-64 Gap Segment C Widening Project is estimated to be completed as early as late 2027.   For more information on the I-64 Gap Segment C Project, please visit: https://www.vdot.virginia.gov/projects/hampton-roads-district/i-64-gap-segment-c-widening/.
