Bland Boulevard & Jefferson Avenue - City of Newport News
The study area includes Bland Boulevard from Warwick Boulevard (Route 60) to Jefferson Avenue (Route 143) and Jefferson Avenue (Route 143) from Bland Boulevard to Denbigh Boulevard. With the upcoming I-64/Denbigh Boulevard interchange, the anticipated shift in traffic is expected to put additional demand on Bland Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue (Route 143). Both corridors have segments that are VTrans Priority 1, 2, or 3 locations. This study will focus on improving roadway and pedestrian safety, multimodal accessibility/connectivity (bicycle, pedestrian and transit), and transportation demand management (TDM) needs. It is intended to assess mid-term to long-term challenges/opportunities and will identify project recommendations that can be advanced for federal, state and local funding opportunities.
This brief survey will provide the study team with valuable context on existing transportation issues in the corridor so that they can be analyzed and addressed in the study.
Project Pipeline is a performance-based planning program to identify cost-effective solutions to multimodal transportation needs in Virginia. Through this planning process, projects and solutions may be considered for funding through programs, including SMART SCALE, revenue sharing, interstate funding and others.
