Studies

What's Being Done

The study area for this project extends along the U.S. Route 13 corridor from Route 600 just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel toll facility to the Virginia – Maryland state line, a distance of approximately 69 miles. In addition, Route 175 serving the NASA facility at Wallops Island is also part of the study. Regionally, U.S. Route 13 is the principal north-south corridor linking the Eastern Shore of Virginia with the mainland of Virginia to the south and to the northeast through the State of Maryland. In Virginia, the U.S. Route 13 corridor traverses both Northampton and Accomack Counties in their entirety.

Why is this road being built?

The goal of the study was to develop a plan that VDOT and the jurisdictions can implement to make U.S. Route 13 a safer and more efficient transportation facility for the traveling public over the next 20 years.
