I-64 / I-295 Interchange Modification Project Photos - August 2007 |
The following 18 photos were taken on August 25, 2007 by Roads to the Future. Click on the photo to get a large version of the photo. The large photos have sizes ranging from 149 to 216 kilobytes, with most of them being under 190 kilobytes. With a broadband or network Internet connection each photo will download within seconds, but with a dial-up Internet connection it will be somewhat slower.

I-295
has a
temporary roadway for the interchange ramp movement from eastbound I-64 to
eastbound I-295 (toward Washington and Norfolk). The inner lane of the
I-295 3-lane westbound roadway is being used as this temporary roadway,
and there are temporary roadway connections between the pre-existing loop
ramp and this roadway, and between this roadway and the permanent I-295
eastbound roadway. The pre-existing concrete pavement loop ramp curves to the
right, and the asphalt temporary roadway continues ahead. This and the next 3 photos are in the same driving sequence. |

View from the
I-295 temporary roadway for the interchange
ramp movement from eastbound I-64 to eastbound I-295 (toward Washington
and Norfolk). Ahead is the construction of the Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls on the earthen fill approach from the flyover bridge for the new semi-directional ramp from eastbound I-64 to eastbound I-295 (toward Washington and Norfolk). This is the "landing" for the flyover ramp on I-295. |

The
ramp from westbound I-295 to westbound I-64
(toward Charlottesville). This one-lane ramp is being widened to two
lanes, and is being relocated in two places to provide a higher-speed
alignment. The ramp is being rebuilt to a higher-speed 2-lane ramp,
and will be adequately drivable at 60 mph (the design speed is a bit
higher than that).
A sound barrier is being constructed on the right, adjacent to a
subdivision. This and the next 3 photos are in the same driving sequence. |

The ramp from westbound I-295 to westbound I-64 (toward Charlottesville). The graded area ahead is one of the places where a ramp curve will be lessened. The ramp merges into I-64 ahead. A sound barrier is being constructed on the right, adjacent to a subdivision. |

I-64
westbound, about 1/2 mile west of the VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road overpass, a third
lane is being constructed on the right. This and the next 3 photos are in the same driving sequence. |

I-64 westbound, about one mile west of the VA-271 Pouncey Tract Road overpass, a third lane is being constructed on the right. |

I-64 westbound, one mile east of the VA-288 interchange, a third lane is being constructed on the right. |

I-64 westbound, one half mile east of the VA-288 interchange, a third lane is being constructed on the right. The third right lane to the VA-288 interchange, begins ahead, and the current construction project ends. The third right lane will extend seamlessly between the I-295 and VA-288 interchanges. |

I-64 eastbound, one half mile east of the VA-288 interchange, a third lane
is being constructed on the right. The third right lane from the VA-288
interchange, ends ahead, and the current construction project begins.
The third right lane will extend seamlessly between the VA-288 and I-295
interchanges. This and the next 5 photos are in the same driving sequence. |
