Lane Closings on Beltway, All Three Roads to Dulles Airport During Overnights

Important Lane Closures

I-495 South (The Capital Beltway) at Route 123

Multiple lane closures on southbound I-495 at Route 123 will continue. The three right lanes will be closed from Old Dominion Drive to Route 123 Tuesday, July 5, and Friday, July 8, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
 
The two right lanes will be closed during the same hours on Thursday, July 7.
 
The entrance ramp from southbound Route 123 to southbound I-495 also will be closed Tuesday, July 5, through Friday, July 8, also from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Ramp traffic will be directed to continue on southbound Route 123, turn right on to International Drive to Galleria Drive, to Tysons Boulevard, to Route 123 north.

Also, I-495 north and south from Lewinsville Road to Exit 46, Chain Bridge Rd. (Route 123) – Intermittent full road closures of up to 30 minutes Wednesday night after midnight for overhead utility removals.

Eastbound Dulles Access Road to close Wednesday-Saturday Nights

The eastbound lanes of the Dulles Access Road will be closed overnights Wednesday, July 6, through Saturday, July 9, from approximately 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The closing is necessary because rail construction crews will be working on a large concrete structure that will straddle two piers on each side of the eastbound Dulles International Airport Access Highway. The exit to Route 7 (Leesburg Pike) will remain open.

Eastbound Dulles Toll Road (Route 267) to Close Thursday Night Only

On Thursday, July 7, closures on both the Dulles Toll Road and the DIAAH are scheduled.
 
The Access Road closing will be combined with a closing and detour of the eastbound Dulles Toll Road, also near Route 7. The toll road closing also will be a gradual closure and all times are approximate:
·         8 p.m. – The three left lanes of the eastbound Toll Road will close near Route 7.
·         10 p.m. – Eastbound toll road traffic will be switched on to the eastbound DIAAH.

Full Closure of Westbound I-66 at the Dulles Connector Road Split (Route 267) Overnight July 8-9
 
Westbound I-66 will be closed at the Dulles Connector Road from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Friday, July 8, and Saturday, July 9, so crews can install acoustic barriers at that junction. These closures will affect drivers bound for destinations along I-66 west of Arlington.
 
Thru traffic will be detoured on to the Dulles Connector Road westbound, then on to the Capital Beltway north, to a U-turn at Georgetown Pike to go south on the Beltway. Drivers can then rejoin I-66 from the Beltway.
 
To avoid the closure, drivers bound for destinations inside the Capital Beltway may find alternate routes via other local westbound roads by exiting I-66 prior to the I-66/Dulles Connector Road split. For example, traffic bound for the Falls Church City/Broad Street and Idylwood areas can exit before the detour and use Route 29/Washington Street to connect with Broad Street (Route 7 west).
 
Water Main Installation, Paving Operations Scheduled Overnights on Leesburg Pike (Route 7)
 
Drivers in Tysons Corner should expect construction activity and lane closures along both directions of Leesburg Pike (Route 7) from the Dulles Toll Road and Spring Hill Road next week. Work is expected to occur between approximately 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. weeknights, and until 9 a.m. on weekends.
