The Lane Construction Corporation, the United States subsidiary of the Webuild Group, will modernize a critical stretch of Interstate 64 (I-64) in Norfolk, Va., under a $389 million design-build contract commissioned by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
The project is designed to improve travel efficiency and reliability along the I-64 corridor by reducing congestion and offer managed lanes as an alternative during peak travel times in one of the East Coast's most dynamic regions.
This award reinforces Lane's leadership in delivering sustainable, resilient infrastructure in one of its key United States markets. The company is currently constructing the 4A/4B segment of I-64 from west of Denbigh Boulevard to east of LaSalle Avenue in the Hampton Roads District as well as a $61 million contract for the Minnieville Road Interchange in Prince William County, Va. It also is conducting taxiway pavement repairs at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana in Virginia Beach. The contract follows a recently secured $643 million award for the Westshore Interchange project in Florida.
The new project spans approximately seven mi. of the I-64 Hampton Roads Express Lanes (HREL) corridor. It will convert the three existing east and westbound general purpose lanes and shoulders into one part time, high-occupancy express shoulder lane and three general purpose lanes in each direction, while widening and/or rehabilitating 19 bridges and replacing two bridges along the route. These improvements are designed to enhance safety, reduce travel times and ensure smoother traffic flow. Completion is scheduled for late 2029, with new design solutions aimed at minimizing disruption to traffic during construction and reducing long- term maintenance needs.
Lane's recent delivery of the I-495 NEXT project in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and modernization work at Naval Air Station Oceana further illustrate the company's role in advancing infrastructure that supports economic growth and more livable communities across the United States — Webuild's third-largest market by revenue.
