• *NEW* Constructing bridge abutment at Route 28 Interchange
• Ongoing lane striping and pothole repair work
• Constructing box culverts inside the Route 123 Interchange for shared use path

• 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.
