PORTSMOUTH — Starting as early as Oct. 25, contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are scheduled to close the Towne Point Road on-ramp to Route 164 west for several weeks to allow for sound wall construction activities along Route 164 west from Towne Point Road to a half-mile east of College Drive in Portsmouth. The closure will allow the contractor to continue work to paint and install replacement sound wall panels along the ramp.
A signed detour will be in place, directing motorists from Towne Point Road to Route 164 east before exiting at Cedar Lane to access Route 164 west.
The ramp closure is estimated to remain in place through approximately November 2026. All work is weather- and schedule-dependent; therefore, this schedule is subject to change.
Before hitting the road, consider using VDOT's free 511 Virginia traffic tools, or the free 511-integrated Waze GPS app, to check for the most up-to-date road and travel conditions. VDOT’s 511Virginia website and mobile app offer information about construction, traffic, incidents, and congestion, as well as access to traffic cameras, weather-related impacts and more.
