Shirley-Branch Joint Venture, in conjunction with McLean Contracting Company and other trade partners, achieved a major project milestone: successfully shifting I-64 EB traffic from the existing westbound Hampton River and Branch Bridges onto the newly constructed EB bridges. 👏
The I-64 Gap Segment A Widening project completed the final temporary traffic shift on EB I-64 on September 2nd, 2026. This milestone shifted traffic onto the recently completed median lanes. It allows the final stage of work to reconstruct the outside shoulders for 11 miles.
On Labor Day, we celebrate the hardworking men and women who build, create, and strengthen our communities every day. Your dedication, craftsmanship, and commitment make all the difference. Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. Thanks for all you do!
