Updated Project Schedule Announced

VTrans has announced an updated schedule for the Exit 16 Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) project.

Construction of the Exit 16 DDI project will be completed in two phases under two separate construction contracts which will be executed sequentially. The bid advertisement and the contract award for the first contract, Phase 1, are planned for Winter/Spring 2022. Once awarded, phase one of construction will begin, which includes utility relocation, waterline replacements, telecom duct bank installation, ledge removal, and the construction of retaining walls. Phase 1 is anticipated to be completed by Spring 2023. Phase 2 is anticipated to be bid advertised and awarded in Summer 2023 and completed by Summer 2025. Phase 2 will consist of the bulk of the roadway work including the installation of the DDI, the addition of turning lanes, and the implementation of pedestrian and bicycle accommodations.
