Ramp at Route 7/Route 123 Interchange to Reopen by Thanksgiving

After being closed for more than a year because of Silver Line Construction, the ramp from westbound Leesburg Pike (Route 7) to southbound Chain Bridge Road (Route 123) is scheduled to reopen by Thanksgiving.
 
This ramp was closed in September 2010 to allow for construction of the west end of the tunnel that will connect the Tysons Central 123 and Central 7 stations.
 
Details of the opening will be announced as soon as the date is set.
 
Overnight Lane and Ramp Closures on the I-495 Capital Beltway Continue This Week
 
Rail project crews will continue the bridge construction over I-495 at the Route 123 intersection next week, weather permitting. Multiple lanes in either direction of the Beltway may be closed in the overnight hours, though thru traffic will be permitted. In some cases, a ramp may be closed when work is scheduled over that ramp. Specific lane closures and detour information will be announced daily, and are expected through the end of the year.
