HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) — On Friday, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) announced the new Mallory Street Bridge is open to traffic.
Crews can demolish and rebuild the remainder of the old bridge now that traffic has been shifted to the new bridge.
VDOT says ongoing construction will also include new earthen retaining walls, signals, drainage and pavement, as well as new pedestrian and bike lanes.
As always, construction schedules are subject to change due to impending weather or other unexpected circumstances. Construction updates and lane closure alerts can be found at HRBTexpansion.org.
Motorists are reminded to use caution while traveling near work zones.
