Traffic Light needed on Route 17 to 664 interstate ramp in Chesapeake Virginia


Traffic Light needed on Route 17 to 664 interstate ramp in Chesapeake Virginia
The Issue
There is a deadly intersection off of route 17/Bridge road in Chesapeake/ Suffolk Virginia that needs a red light. This intersection is so unsafe for drivers that there has been 3 accidents that I know of in the past year as well as most recent a fatality. A man by the name of Robert Harrell Jr. UPDATE Today, history repeated itself and. Motorcyclist Wayne Ripson died tragically in an accident at this same intersections. 09/19/2025
Please put a traffic light there before anyone else trying to get onto the 64 ramp from Route 17 and unknowingly pulls out into oncoming traffic because it is very hard to tell if the oncoming vehicles are traveling straight on 17 or taking the right exit onto Interstate 64.
