“Hampton Roads Connector Partners (HRCP) – the design-build contractor for the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project – received Notice to Proceed (NTP) from VDOT in late 2020. HRCP is now preparing to enter the construction phase of the multiyear megaproject. Prior to the start of construction, HRCP is hosting a virtual open house to share information with the public regarding the project. HRBT Expansion topics to be presented during the outreach event include:

· HRBT Expansion Project Overview

· Roadway Construction (within the cities of Hampton and Norfolk)

· Trestle and Bridge Construction

· Portals and Tunnel Construction

· Marine Construction

Join us January 28th at 5:00 pm to hear from HRCP managers and engineers, learn more about the HRBT Expansion Project and the construction activities and timelines, and view a flyover of the before-and-after concept of the almost 10-mile project corridor – beginning at Settlers Landing Road in Hampton and traveling along the interstate, trestles and bridges, through the new tunnel, and along the bridges and interstate in Norfolk concluding at the I-64/I-564 interchange.

If you have any questions about the upcoming virtual event or the technology platform that will be used to facilitate the event, please contact Stephen Meyers (HRCP Communications Manager) at 757-375-4725 or [email protected] or Barbie Curtiss (Virginia Media Event Manager) at [email protected]”
