And it is accurate, too. No false advertizing there. :D
I wonder if "VDOTBLWS" is available? Damn ..... too long. ;)

LMAO! Good one. Too bad I can't get "Widen I-64 from Hampton to Richmond" on a tag.

As much as it is needed (I have made that trip alot), it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime.
Saw an article recently that said Virginia Interstates cost $1.0 to $2.0 Million per lane mile. I-64 between Richmond and Hampton is 80.4 miles. Adding 1 lane for each eastbound and westbound track is a minimum of $160-320 Million. Paving the other 2 lanes each way adds another $80-160 Million. Costs do NOT include all of the overpasses that need to be widened to accomodate the widen travel area and access/egress ramps so add another $80-160 Million. Add 10% for design and engineering and 15% for project management.
Total minimum cost is $400 Million to a max of $800 Million. Likely cost is in the middle ..... say $600 Million. It took forty (40) years to get that much money approved for the Wilson Bridge Project. It's cost at completion was $1.2 Billion. I suspect this one will double too before it is done.
I will be 101 years old in 2051. Let me know how the road is then..... and whether it needs another 1 or 2 lanes to handle traffic growth over 40 years.
Whatever happens .... VDOT will be surprised when it does.

Now Back to your regularly schedule program on DMV and license plates.

I loved running US 60 to Hampton. Lots of ups and downs like a rollercoaster. US 301 to a lesser extent. I remember 'em all and I-64 ain't an improvement over US 60 (at the time) and if you have travelled I-95 between Washington, DC and Richmond you'd reconsider US 301 again as a decent option. I directed BigDogJim that way after MV8 and saved him a 1-2 hour delay near Fredericksburg on I-95.
I remembr when I-64 deadended near what is now Exit 205 at VA 33. There was a "Stuckey's" right there on US 60. Good times that was.

Yeah, make sure you put that one on, right after you get the blower installation finished.
Better yet: VHPSUX... ;)
