STEP 1: REVIEW THE MATERIALS
This project will provide strategic connectivity between U.S. Route 60 (Pocahontas Trail) and State Route 143 (Merrimac Trail). Built in the vicinity of the Walmart Distribution Center in James City County the connector will redirect industrial traffic away from James River Elementary School, reduce traffic from the Lee Hall community in the city of Newport News, and provide long-range, additional access to Fort Eustis.
Additionally, the project will improve safety, emergency evacuation, local travel and the movement of goods along the two primary roadways. These improvements are also critical to the regional transportation system to provide improved access to Virginia’s ports and enhanced accessibility to existing corporations.
