Bridge Construction in Median of Leesburg Pike (Route 7) Closes Tyco Road/Westwood Center Drive Overnights Next Week

Bridge construction continues in the median of Leesburg Pike (Route 7) and over major Tysons Corner intersections. The large, blue-and-yellow truss building this guideway moved through the Tysons West Station and now is over the intersection of Tyco Road/Westwood Center Drive.
This requires the middle of the intersection to be closed between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 15 through Friday, Jan. 20. Thru traffic along both directions of Leesburg Pike (Route 7) still will be allowed, but thru traffic on Spring Hill Road will not be allowed, and will be detoured by using Route 7 as follows:

• Southbound Tyco Road thru traffic and motorists wanting to turn left on to eastbound Leesburg Pike will need to turn right on to westbound Leesburg Pike, then U-turn at Jarrett Valley Drive, and continue on eastbound Leesburg Pike toward Westwood Center Drive. As a courtesy to the neighborhood, please avoid turning into Jarrett Valley Drive and using private property as your turnaround.

• Northbound Westwood Center Drive thru traffic and motorists wanting to turn left on to westbound Leesburg Pike will need to turn right on to eastbound Leesburg Pike, U-turn at Spring Hill Road, and continue on westbound Route 7 to access Tyco Road.

Drivers should expect approximately 10- to 15-minute travel delays if traveling through this area during these closures, which are expected to last through the end of the year.
