I 64 and Ashland Road Interchange to Begin Construction

VDOT has advanced the I 64 and Ashland Road Route 623 interchange through public hearings and design milestones in 2025 and lists the project as in design with construction estimated to start in late 2026 and targeted for completion by summer 2029. The agency identifies the diverging diamond interchange design as the preferred option to improve traffic operations and reduce conflict points at a critical crossing on the eastern corridor of Goochland County.

The project scope on VDOTs page describes a new bridge over I 64, ramp reconfiguration, widening of the adjacent roadways, drainage and stormwater work, updated lighting and traffic signals, and the relocation of the Hickory Haven Park & Ride. VDOT also lists the project UPC and federal identifiers and provides public comment contacts and technical details on the project page, which serves as the authoritative source for schedule and scope.

Local impact will be concentrated for residents and commuters who use Ashland Road and the Rockville corridor. The interchange and the park and ride relocation are part of a regional strategy to address traffic pressures from planned growth along Ashland Road and the nearby industrial and warehouse corridor. The changes are intended to improve safety and traffic flow over the long term, but they will involve multi year construction that will affect travel patterns and local planning decisions during the build period.

For Goochland County officials and residents the project carries planning and fiscal implications, including coordination on access, stormwater management, and the siting of the relocated park and ride. VDOTs project page contains the technical documents, schedule details, and public comment contacts that residents and local leaders should consult to track design changes and construction staging as the project progresses toward its 2026 start.
