Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this project is to construct a new four‑lane divided highway from Indian River Road to Kempsville Road, improving mobility, safety and overall traffic operations in the Centerville area.

Key elements of the project include:
- Intersection improvements at Centerville Turnpike/Indian River Road and Centerville Turnpike/Kempsville Road.
- Addition of triple left‑turn lanes onto Indian River Road from Centerville Turnpike.
- New sidewalks and dedicated on‑road bicycle lanes.
- Landscaping enhancements along the corridor.
- Relocation of existing aerial utilities to a new, consolidated overhead location.
