Aug. 23, 2016 - The results of a draft statement analyzing the potential social, economic and environmental impacts of proposed changes or improvements to crossings over the Hampton Roads harbor will be discussed at a public hearing on Wednesday, Sept. 7 at the Hampton Roads Convention Center and Thursday, Sept. 8, at the Quality Suites on Northampton Boulevard in Norfolk.

The study includes possible expansion of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel and the construction of additional crossings. Both meetings, sponsored by the Virginia Department of Transportation, will be from 5-7 p.m. In case of inclement weather, the meetings will be held one week later at the same locations and at the same times.

For more information and to make a comment, the draft "Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement" is available online at www.HamptonRoadsCrossingStudy.org.

Broad St., Richmond, Va, 23129. And, you can email comments on the draft statement to HRCSSEIS@VDOT.Virginia.Gov.
