On March 28, 2019, the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC) approved a historic funding agreement between HRTAC and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to deliver the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) Expansion Project-the largest transportation project in Virginia’s history. The project adds new interstate capacity and twin two-lane bored tunnels along nearly 10 miles of Interstate 64 between Hampton and Norfolk. All I-64 projects under construction in the region today have been made possible through the HRTAC and VDOT partnership.
