Travelers can expect heavy traffic on Hampton Boulevard from downtown Norfolk to the Naval Base. We highly advise all patrons to take additional caution during their commute and alert the general public to use alternative routes that include the use of Terminal Boulevard to Hampton Boulevard via I-64 or side streets adjacent to Hampton Boulevard such as Colley Avenue when traveling from downtown Norfolk.
When attending one or more commencement ceremony at the Ted Constant Convocation Center, there will be parking spaces available on the campus of Old Dominion University in the South CCC garage which is accessible via 41st street and North CCC garage which is accessible via 45th street off of Hampton Boulevard. Overflow parking will be ushered to garages A and B, located on 43rd street and Elkhorn Avenue on campus.
