There will be no lane closures from noon on Wednesday, July 3, through noon on Friday, July 5, in observance of Independence Day.

Project construction continues throughout the corridor during daytime and overnight hours as weather conditions allow. Current 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

• Demolition of structures

• Small charge dynamite operations at the Route 28 interchange

• Clearing trees and brush, grading, and installing drainage throughout the corridor

• Demolishing closed ramps at Route 123 interchange

• Grading and installing drainage at the future park and ride lots at University Boulevard (Gainesville) and Balls Ford Road (Manassas)

• 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

• Corridor-wide roadway maintenance as needed

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.
