FAIRFAX, VA – Between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. starting Monday, June 5, and continuing nightly through Friday, June 9, 495 NEXT project crews will close the ramp from the westbound Dulles Toll Road to northbound I-495. The nightly ramp closure is necessary to safely allow crews to conduct joint repairs at the top of the ramp to the Beltway lanes.

Motorists traveling on Dulles Toll Road west will be detoured to southbound Rt. 123 (exit 19A) to access I-495 North towards Rockville/Baltimore. Motorists traveling on Rt. 123 South will continue to the exit for I-495 North towards Rockville/Baltimore. Drivers are urged to slow down and use additional caution when approaching and traveling through the work zone.

This work is part of the I-495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (495 NEXT) project to extend the existing 495 Express Lanes from the Dulles Corridor interchange to the George Washington Memorial Parkway near the American Legion Bridge. All scheduled work is subject to weather and other conditions.
