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 at Bull Run Drive

• Constructing pedestrian box culverts inside the Route 123 interchange

• Constructing retaining walls along I-66

• Clearing trees and brush, grading, and drainage installation at the Route 28, Route 123, Route 50, and I-495 interchanges, and other work zone locations along the corridor

• Clearing trees and brush at the future Manassas Park and Ride Lot off of Balls Ford Road

• Grading and drainage installation at the future University Boulevard Park and Ride Lot

• Grading and excavating for the new E.C. Lawrence Park Access 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.
