|type = Y-Interchange and Cloverstack }} The Bowers Hill interchange is a large interchange complex where the Hampton Roads Beltway intersects with Interstate 264 (I-264) as well as Military Highway, which carries the three U.S. Highways. It is named for the unincorporated community surrounding it, Bowers Hill, Virginia, which itself is a part of the independent city of Chesapeake. == History == The first portions of I-264 were opened beginning in 1964 and in 1966 were completed from Bowers Hill to the western approach to the Downtown Tunnel in Portsmouth. I-64, the region's major east–west artery was built through the area beginning in the 1960s. The of I-64 between U.S. Route 460 (US 460) at Wards Corner in Norfolk and Bowers Hill in Chesapeake was completed in 1969. To reach the eastern terminus of the Interstate Highway at Bowers Hill, eastbound I-64 was actually built in a westerly direction for its final . By 1970, Bowers Hill had two Interstate Highways, and three arterial highways. An additional crossing of Hampton Roads, to supplement the James River Bridge and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel was a long-sought highway improvement in the area. A north–south roadway between Bowers Hill and the Churchland area was also needed. Planning for what became I-664 began as early as 1964. One of the more recent portions of the Interstate Highway System to be built in Virginia, I-664 was completed in April 1992. The highway connects Bowers Hill with Hampton. I-664 includes the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel across Hampton Roads between the independent cities of Newport News and Suffolk. Major overpasses were built in conjunction with I-664, and its junction with the other highways required the demolition of the original overpass and interchange. A similar bridge to the original overpass remains nearby on Military Highway, crossing the now-abandoned Virginian Railway bed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bowers Hill Interchange」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
