I-66 Outside the Beltway Project: Lane closures and traffic changes week of September 16th

What’s Happening

Crews will continue shifting travel lanes and setting up concrete barriers to create safe work zones along Interstate 66. Other planned construction activities include:

• Setting up long-term lane shifts along I-66 between Stringfellow Road and Bull Run Drive, and between Nutley Street and Gallows Road
• Grading, excavating, and clearing trees and brush at the Route 28 interchange and other places where work zones are set up
• Temporarily relocating underground utilities continues
• Continuing work to widen the median between Route 123 and Blake Lane to support upcoming traffic shifts
• Grading and drainage work at the future University Boulevard Park and Ride Lot

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.
