Project Description
The Poindexter Street Sidewalk Extension Project area is currently a four-lane divided roadway which links the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge and entrance to Elizabeth River Park to Bainbridge Boulevard via the Interstate 464 Overpass. Currently, there are no sidewalks or dedicated pedestrian facilities, so pedestrians must navigate along the shoulder of the roadway and utilize footpaths along the side of the road which are not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The purpose of this project is to provide safe pedestrian facilities on Poindexter Street from Bainbridge Boulevard, across the Interstate 464 Overpass to the connecting sidewalk at the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge. Improvements along Poindexter Street will include lighting and bridge modifications to accommodate the new sidewalk.
