Headaches on the horizon

Beltway HOT lanes: Beginning Friday night, northbound and southbound traffic on the Capital Beltway will shift left approaching the Arlington Boulevard (Route 50) interchange. Beltway lanes in this area will narrow so workers can safely demolish and rebuild parts of the roadway and the bridges over Route 50. This traffic pattern will remain for 12 to 18 months. All lanes on the inner loop (I-495 North) will be closed by 11 p.m. Drivers will be directed to the exit ramp lanes for Route 50. They will continue through the ramp lanes to get back onto I-495 North. All four lanes will reopen by 7 a.m. Saturday. The traffic shift for I-495 north will begin near the Gallows Road interchange heading towards Route 50. On Saturday night, all lanes on the outer loop (I-495 South) will be closed by 11 p.m. Drivers will be directed to the exit ramp lanes for...

You'll find details below about these and other weekend events that might affect your travels, plus a look ahead to next week. Montrose Parkway section opening The big traffic change is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Friday, and the work will continue till about noon Saturday. (The result will be improved access to Randolph Road from I-270, but avoid the area while the traffic shift is underway.)

So eastbound traffic on...

Accident Closes I-66 Lanes At Beltway

[This post has been updated] 6:30 A.M. UPDATE: All lanes are now open and cleared. Traffic is still backed up to Nutley Street -- about 2 miles -- which is fairly typical of the morning rush hour commute on I-66 East. As for what happened: A tractor-trailer hauling produce hit a jersey wall set up as part of HOT construction on I-66 at the Beltway, according to Trooper B.J. Burns of the Virginia State Police. Troopers arrived on the scene at 3:15 a.m. and found that while none of the cargo was spilled, the driver's fuel tanks had ruptured and approximately 100 gallons of diesel fuel spilled onto the through lanes of I-66 East, Burns said. The lanes exiting to 495 North and South were unaffected; the lanes continuing on 66 to Arlington and Washington were the ones impacted. So there was heavier-than-usual traffic for regular Beltway commuters, since drivers...

Headaches on the horizon

Dulles Metrorail construction: Lane closure scheduled for tonight on the Dulles Toll Road (route 267) has been canceled. I-95 Widening: Three miles south of the Fairfax County Parkway exit (Exit 166), VDOT is closing several lanes on southbound I-95 to allow workers room to hang steel beams for the additional lane over Pohick Creek, one half mile north of the Lorton Road exit (Exit 163). One right lane of southbound I-95 will be closed at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, followed by another at 10:30 p.m. The lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. Overnight, one southbound lane will remain open to all traffic. The HOV lanes will remain open to southbound traffic until 1:30 a.m. (They normally close to southbound traffic at midnight.) Beltway HOT lanes: Capital Beltway Exit 57) from I-495 south (outer loop) to I-395 North will be closed from 9:30 p.m. to 5 o'clock Thursday morning so workers can...

Headaches on the horizon

HOT lane closings: On Tuesday and Wednesday nights, VDOT will close the Capital Beltway outer loop (I-495 South) exit ramp to I-395 North from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. to allow crews to install steel beams for a new bridge at the Springfield interchange. Detour Route: From I-495 South, exit onto I-95 South to Exit 166A, the Newington-Fairfax County Parkway (Route 7100) exit. Motorists should follow detour signage around the exit ramps back to I-95 north and continue onto I-395 North. This is likely to add 10 to 15 minutes onto a trip....
