Scope of project:

The City of Newport New is constructing a new four-lane divided roadway beginning at the intersection of Warwick Boulevard and Atkinson Boulevard extending eastward with a 1742 foot bridge structure over the CSX railroad, I-64 and intersection with Jefferson Avenue. Once constructed, the roadway will be named Atkinson Boulevard. This project is locally administered by the City of Newport News. The work includes surcharge, wick drains, drilled shafts, new bridge structures, utility relocations, and signalized intersections.
