OVERNIGHT TRIPLE LANE CLOSURES ON EASTBOUND DULLES TOLL ROAD NEAR I-495 AND RAMP CLOSURE TO START ON OR ABOUT SUNDAY NIGHT, AUG. 17

Closures needed for paving work; Motorists should expect potential delays

FAIRFAX, VA – Triple lane closures on eastbound Dulles Toll Road (DTR) approaching I-495 (the Capital Beltway) are scheduled to occur between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. starting on or about Sunday night, Aug. 17, and continuing for approximately six overnights, except Saturday, Aug. 24. Additionally, the ramp from eastbound DTR and Dulles Airport Access Highway (DAAH) to northbound I-495/Beltway Inner Loop will close during these overnights. This work is weather dependent, and will be pushed to the following overnight if necessary. Crews will be milling and paving this section of DTR and the ramp, as part of the I-495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (495 NEXT) project. 


Drivers affected by the ramp closure from eastbound DTR/DAAH (Route 267) to northbound I-495 should follow the posted detour: 



  • Exit earlier onto southbound I-495 using Exit 18A to Richmond
  • Take Exit 46B for northbound Route 123/Chain Bridge Road
  • Continue in ramp-lane and immediately merge onto I-495 

Drivers are urged to slow down, eliminate distractions, pay attention to message signs, and drive with heightened caution when traveling through all work zones.
