  1. TransAmerican 460 Corridor I. Introduction II. Need and purpose of multimodal system US460 is a non-limited-access two and four-lane highway. Limited passenger rail service exists between western Richmond, Petersburg, and Hampton Roads. General aviation airports and smaller commercial airports lie along the route. Freight rail serves the port of Norfolk. US 460 can be upgraded to near-interstate standards. High-speed rail service can be provided between the Main Street Station in Richmond, Petersburg, and South Hampton Roads. A major eastern airport can be constructed in South Hampton Roads (Isle of Wight, Eastern Virginia International Airport). Increased rail capacity and new alignments can accommodate both expanding freight and passenger rail service. IV. Integration plan • Multiple roadway upgrades to bring US460 to near interstate standards • Construct new 6000 ft runway at Hampton Roads airport • Provide dedicated access/interchanges for the following general aviation and small commercial facilities: Blackstone Municipal Airport, Petersburg Airport, Wakefield Airport (runway protection zone necessitates realignment), Crewe Airport, Farmville Airport, Lynchburg-Falwell Airport, Lynchburg Regional Airport, Roanoke Airport • Multiple rail upgrade (double stack, sidings, speeds) and realignment of Norfolk Southern and CSXT lines • Passenger rail terminals • APM Terminals (Maersk subsidiary) intermodal container port in Portsmouth (largest such private facility in the US) • Intermodal container rail to port facility in Suffolk (Virginia Port Authority) • Intermodal container rail to port facility in Petersburg (Richmond Ports Commission) • Multiple rail-industrial development sites west of Petersburg III. Rationale for selected alternative • Construction of a four-lane, divided highway, controlled access facility • Construction of a four-lane, divided highway with controlled access only in bypass areas; • No-build option
