Paving and Lane Shift Work May Increase Noise along Westbound Dulles Connector Road (Route 267) Overnights May 2-7
 
Residents who live along sections of the Dulles Connector Road (Route 267) from slightly East of Idylwood Road to Pimmit Run in the McLean/Falls Church area may hear noise related to paving work overnights Monday, May 2, though Saturday, May 8.
 
Paving in the westbound lanes is scheduled to occur weeknights from 9:30 pm. to 5 am. and on weekends from 10 pm. to 9 am.
 
Paving is an extremely dangerous activity and will require the use of backup alarms to ensure workers' safety. Drivers should be on the lookout for a slight lane shift in this area when work is complete. Police will be onsite at all times for motorist safety.
