I-66 Outside the Beltway Project – lane closures and traffic changes

Published

on

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. Learn more at Transform66.org.

What’s Happening – week of September 2
Crews will continue shifting travel lanes and setting up concrete barriers to create safe work zones along Interstate 66. Upcoming planned construction activities include:
• Clearing trees and brush in established work zones inside the Route 28 and Route 123 interchanges
• Temporarily relocating underground utilities along I-66 near Jermantown Road
• Continuing work to widen the median between Route 123 and Blake Lane to support upcoming traffic shifts
