HRT still studying Light Rail to Wards Corner

June 15, 2016

HRTexpansionLTRLHampton Roads Transit presented to the Norfolk City Council last night that they will be studying two potential light rail expansion routes.  Either or both, depending on funding, could be built.

The eastern route would connect to the existing Light Rail line, stop at Sentara Leigh Memorial Hospital, go through a redeveloped Military Circle, up the Military Highway corridor and then west on the Little Creek Road corridor through Wards Corner and to Naval Station Norfolk.

The western route would run up Hampton Boulevard through Old Dominion University and terminate at Naval Station Norfolk.

The Virginian-Pilot has an article with more details here.
