Hampton’s Mallory Street Bridge traffic shift delayed

A traffic shift on Mallory Street Bridge, which was slated to start this past Friday , has been delayed by one week, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

VDOT said in an email late Friday that work on pedestrian walkways still needed to be finished, and weather conditions created further delays. Once walkways are completed, traffic on Interstate 64 will be diverted onto the new segment of the Mallory Street Bridge in Hampton as part of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project.

Switching to the new segment will allow traffic to continue while crews demolish the rest of the old bridge and rebuild it.
