Project Date: Ongoing | Anticipated Completion: Fall 2028

True Inspection Services is providing engineering and construction inspection services as a subconsultant on Phase 2 of the Chesapeake Bypass project. The Chesapeake Bypass project has been ongoing for over twenty years, but due to limited funding, the construction is completed in phases. Phase 2 involves construction of the western half of the Chesapeake Bypass between the S.R. 527/S.R. 7 interchange in Chesapeake east to S.R. 775 in Proctorville, Ohio. The project encompasses approximately 5 miles and includes the construction of a 2-lane highway, with some 4-lane sections and truck climbing lanes, as well as a full interchange at S.R. 775.

The project includes the construction of a two-lane highway with four-lane sections and dedicated truck climbing lanes. Once finished, it aims to safely divert heavy truck traffic off local routes, improve tri-state connectivity (linking to I-64, I-77, and I-75), and spur economic growth across the Appalachian region.
