1. Exit onto I-495 South using Exit 18A to Richmond
2. Take Exit 46B for Route 123/Chain Bridge Road North
3. Continue in ramp-lane and immediately exit onto I-495 North

The planned hours for the ramp closure and detour are:

• 8 p.m. Fridays through 7 a.m. Saturdays
• 7 p.m. Saturdays through 7 a.m. Sundays
• 7 p.m. through 5 a.m. each day, Sunday nights through Friday mornings

Drivers are urged to use caution and expect potential delays if traveling through this area. This work is weather dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.
