Eastbound advanced sign for the Hampton Roads Center Parkway. This road sign is located just east from the US-17 cloverleaf interchange, where I entered Interstate 64 on my 2010 trip. |

Second advanced sign for the Hampton Roads Center Parkway. I was pretty amazed by Interstate 64 when I started on it -- it actually reminded me somewhat of the concrete freeways of Los Angeles. I had no idea what to expect coming into Norfolk -- aside from the fact that I knew that Norfolk existed, I didn't know anything about the city prior to visiting. |

Advanced signage for the US-258 interchange. Again, this is a surprisingly big road. I have said this before, but I am continually surprised by just how many big cities exist in the US. By comparison, there are so few large urban centres in Canada. |

Advanced sign for the US-258 interchange affixed to a gantry that spans the entire ten lane highway cross-section. Overhead gantries that span both carriageways are a common phenomena in the State of Virginia. |

Eastbound exit signage for US-Highway 258. From Google maps, it would appear that US-Highway 258 is one of the primary commercial arterial streets through Hampton Virginia. |

Overhead sign for the ramp to Interstate 664. On my 2010 trip, I opted to take I-664 through Norfolk due to congestion on the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel along Interstate 64. |

Westbound signage for the ramp to US-13 towards the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. At long last I had reached my destination -- I had started this morning in Newark, Delaware on the I-95 corridor and had literally driven all day to get to this point. |

Advanced sign for US-13. This sign design is a little bit interesting, as VDot has elected not to use a downward pointing arrow to delineate which lane departs, nor do they include a distance to when the right lane exits for US-13. |

The right-most freeway lane departs for US-13 in a mile. Though US-13 is not a freeway through Norfolk, it is a fairly importation six-lane arterial highway. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is found about 5 miles north-east of Interstate 64 along US-13. |

As the mainline ramp from Interstate 64 West departs for I-264 West, a highspeed flyover serving the Express Lanes east of I-64 on I-264 passes overhead. The highspeed flyover serves the reversible HOV lanes located in the median of I-64 through Eastern Nofrolk. |

Westbound signage to Interstate 264 East. The ramp to I-264 East is surpassingly busy given that I-264 dead-ends in Virginia Beach only several miles east of this interchange. Again, I was surprised by the complexity of the Hampton Roads network. |

Westerly view as the off-ramp for Greenbrier Parkway passes underneath the on-ramp from Highway 168 and I-464. I would like to remind the reader that this interchange is in Norfolk, Virginia. On this trip I drove through Philadelphia, New York City, and Baltimore, and none of those major centres had a freeway network that quite rivalled that of Norfolk, Virginia. |

Westbound signage at the US-17 interchange. I really, really like the "feel' of driving over whisper ground concrete highways. The longitudinal grinding not only improves ride quality but greatly reduces the amount of road noise associated with concrete highways. |
