Six Mount Zion Road at I-64 Overpass to reopen Sept. 11
JAMES CITY COUNTY — Contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are scheduled to lift the long-term closure of Six Mount Zion Road at the I-64 overpass between Mount Laurel Road and La Grange Parkway on Friday, Sept. 11.
Six Mount Zion Road has been closed at the I-64 overpass since September 2025 to accommodate bridge widening and utility relocation work. Following the reopening, motorists should expect intermittent, short-term flagging operations on Six Mount Zion Road as bridge widening and rehabilitation work continues at this location.
All work is weather- and schedule-dependent; therefore, this schedule is subject to change.
Motorists are reminded to use caution when traveling near work zones, obey posted speed limits, follow traffic control and drive distraction-free.
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.
The I-64 Gap Widening projects have been divided into three segments labeled Segments A, B and C, with each being constructed as an operationally independent project to enhance connectivity between Richmond and Hampton Roads. The collective objective involves improving congestion and safety in this corridor by widening approximately 29 miles of travel lanes, adding a 12-foot-wide third lane and 10-foot-wide paved shoulders in both directions. The I-64 corridor within these project areas currently only provides two lanes in each direction and links to sections at both ends that have three travel lanes — hence, this corridor has been deemed "the gap."
Estimated to be completed as early as late 2027, the Segment C project includes 9 miles of I-64 roadway widening and pavement rehabilitation; the repair, rehabilitation and widening of two bridges on I-64 east and west over Six Mount Zion Road; as well as paving the Lightfoot Park and Ride lot in York County. Additional work includes the installation of overhead signage and advanced traffic management technology systems, sound barrier walls, retaining walls, and storm drainage box culverts and pipes.
