I-66 Construction
The westbound exit off I-66 at Nutley Street will be closed this weekend from Friday at 10 p.m. until Sunday at 6 a.m. Traffic will be directed farther west to the exit for Vienna/Fairfax/GMU Station.
I-66 westbound in the Vienna area will be reduced to a single travel lane during the overnight hours Friday and Saturday, August 13 and 14, and reduced to three travel lanes during daytime hours on Saturday. In addition, one lane on westbound I-66 in the same area will remain closed during the daytime hours Saturday, August 14. All lanes of I-66 West will reopen on the new roadway alignment by midday Sunday.
Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road) over I-66 will be reduced to one travel lane in each direction during the overnight hours Wednesday and Thursday, August 11 and 12, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
When complete, the reconstructed Route 123/I-66 Interchange will provide direct access to and from the new Express Lanes for both eastbound and westbound travelers. A new shared-use path through the interchange will connect the new I-66 corridor trail with trails in the City of Fairfax.
Drivers traveling on I-66 and I-495 should expect delays and should consider using alternate routes.
All work is weather dependent and will be rescheduled if inclement conditions occur.
