About the Project
This project includes the rehabilitation of 6.5 miles of badly deteriorated pavement on I-66 between the Capital Beltway and Route 50 in Fairfax County. Work began in April 2011 and is approximately 75% complete as of February 2012. To minimize impacts to motorists, most lane closures are taking place at night. However, this spring daytime shoulder and single lane closures are occurring during off-peak commuting hours to facilitate construction of detailed work.
With all concrete patching complete, crews will now focus on guard rail improvements, ITS improvements, and final surface paving through summer 2012 with a November 2012 final completion date.
The total project budget is $48 million.
Traffic Impacts and Lane Closures
During night work, two of the three lanes on I-66 are permitted to be closed from 9:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. eastbound and from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 am westbound, Sunday through Thursday. Lane closures for weekend night work are permitted from 8:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. eastbound and 10:00 p.m. until 9:00 a.m. westbound.
Daytime shoulder- and single-lane closures are permitted after 9:00 a.m. eastbound and before 2:00 p.m. westbound, contingent upon traffic and weather conditions.
Periodic overnight ramp closures and detours will also be scheduled as part of the work. Ramp closures and detours will be announced by VDOT through 511 well in advance.
Overhead and portable message signs will alert motorists well in advance of work zones to ensure adequate time to seek alternate routes.
