FAIRFAX – All travel lanes of I-66 West are planned to be closed west of Stringfellow Road in Centreville nightly this weekend through next week, January 28 to February 1, to allow for installation of bridge beams for a new ramp from the future I-66 Express Lanes. Westbound I-66 traffic will be detoured using a new collector-distributor lane, Route 28, and Westfields Boulevard. This work is part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project.

Drivers traveling on I-66 West during this time should expect delays and consider using alternate routes.

All work is weather dependent and may be rescheduled if inclement conditions occur.
