Eastbound Victory Boulevard turn lane to Hampton Highway to temporarily close through mid-summer

As early as June 16, contractor crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are scheduled to implement a continuous, multi-week closure of the eastbound left-turn lane from Victory Boulevard (Route 171) onto Hampton Highway (Route 134) in York County.

The closure is estimated to remain in place through mid-summer as construction continues on the Victory Boulevard widening project between Route 17 (George Washington Memorial Highway) and Hampton Highway, which is designed to increase roadway capacity and help alleviate congestion along this corridor.

A signed detour will be in place directing eastbound traffic to continue on Victory Boulevard, turn left onto Big Bethel Road, and continue straight onto Yorktown Road to reach Hampton Highway.

All work is weather- and schedule-dependent; therefore, this schedule is subject to change.
