Technical Details:

The Dominion Boulevard Project consisted of a new 95-foot-high, fixed-span, four-lane bridge which replaced the two-lane moveable steel bridge. The roadway was widened from two lanes to four lanes from Grassfield Pkwy. to I-64. Interchanges were constructed at Cedar Rd., Bainbridge Blvd./Dominion Lakes and Great Bridge Blvd. A fully automated system was implemented to collect tolls using E-ZPass or toll-by-plate.  Construction began in January of 2013 and tolling began in February of 2017.  The project was completed ahead of schedule.
