Route 190 Kempsville Road/ Great Bridge Boulevard TO Gainsborough Square

survey

The survey regarding potential transportation improvements (safety, operational, bicycle/pedestrian and transit access) along Battlefield Boulevard between Gainsborough Square and Great Bridge Boulevard/Kempsville Road, including the Chesapeake Expressway (Route 168 Bypass) interchange, in Chesapeake is complete.

project purpose

The purpose of this study will be to analyze the operational issues identified at the Battlefield Boulevard and Route 168 interchange, with a focus on providing enhanced pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access. The surrounding area sees an influx of over 93,000 commuters, which places stress on the interchange and adjacent intersections - leading to significant congestion during AM and PM rush hours. Travel patterns at the interchange are also tied to operations on I-64. The objective of this study is to identify cost-effective preferred improvement alternatives that address the deficient conditions and provide connectivity to pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders.
