Nightly Lane and Ramp Closures Continue Next Week on Northbound I-495 & Dulles Corridor Interchange Near Tysons

Closures needed for ongoing bridge girder installation

FAIRFAX, VA – Crews are scheduled to continue installation of bridge girders adjacent to northbound I-495 (Capital Beltway) at the Dulles Corridor Interchange for the first span of a new express lanes ramp that will connect the Dulles Toll Road to northbound 495 Express Lanes. This work and closures are scheduled during overnight hours, Monday, Dec. 16 through Wednesday, Dec. 18, between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Details include:

Multi-lane closures and periodic traffic stoppages of up to twenty minutes each (between Midnight and 5 a.m.) on northbound I-495 between Route 7 and Lewinsville Road.

Ramp closure from eastbound Dulles Toll Road/Airport Access Highway (Route 267) to northbound I-495 (Capital Beltway). Motorists should use the following signed detour:
Exit 18A to Richmond to go southbound on I-495
Exit 46B to northbound Route 123/Chain Bridge Road
Continuing in ramp-lane to immediately exit onto northbound I-495

In the event of inclement weather or other delays, this work will be rescheduled, and may be prolonged. Drivers are urged to use caution and expect potential delays if traveling through this area.

Installation of additional, larger girders over northbound I-495 for this same future 495 Express Lanes ramp is scheduled to occur over a weekend-long period in late January 2025. This work will require major traffic impacts on northbound I-495 near Tysons and at the Dulles Corridor Interchange. Details and more information will be provided in the coming weeks.
