The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has selected Hampton Roads Connector Partners (HRCP) for the construction of the $3.3 billion Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) Expansion Project. The HRCP joint venture team includes Flatiron Construction Corp., Dragados USA, and VINCI Construction.
The project will add two new 1.5-mile long two-lane twin tunnels and 2-mile long new marine approach bridges across the Hampton Harbor. It will also widen the four-lane sections of Interstate 64 in Hampton between Settlers Landing Road and the Phoebus shoreline, as well as the four-lane section of I-64 in Norfolk between the Willoughby shoreline and the I-564 interchange. More than 100,000 vehicles currently use this facility during peak travel periods.
The contract is expected to be executed in April 2019 with construction expected to conclude in 2025.
