I-66 Outside the Beltway Project: Lane closures and traffic changes for the week of May 5, 2019
What’s Happening
As weather conditions allow, crews will continue corridor-wide roadway maintenance and address issues as needed, with daily multi-lane closures during daytime and overnight hours on I-66 East and West. Additional activities include:
- Constructing bridge foundations at I-495, Route 28, and Route 234 Business interchanges and Bull Run Drive overpass
- Constructing retaining walls along I-66 and Route 28
- Clearing trees and brush, grading, and installing drainage throughout the corridor
- Demolishing closed ramps at the Route 123 interchange
- Grading and drainage installation at the future Gainesville/University Boulevard Park and Ride Lot and the future Manassas/Balls Ford Road Park and Ride Lot
- Grading and excavating for the new E.C. Lawrence Park Access Road and temporary realignment of Braddock Road
- Relocating underground and overhead utilities along I-66 and Route 28

The Transform 66 Outside the Beltway project will add express lanes stretching 22.5 miles from the Capital Beltway to Route 29 in Gainesville, rebuild major interchanges along the I-66 corridor, create thousands of new park and ride spaces, and expand trail options for cyclists and pedestrians.
