The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) plans to close the ramp from Virginia Center Boulevard east to Interstate 66 west near the Vienna Metro station for about six weeks starting on or about May 13.
The change will allow for continued construction at the Nutley Street/I-66 interchange for the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project.
Drivers heading to I-66 west will be directed to continue to Nutley Street south to access I-66 west. Drivers will be directed to continue east on Virginia Center Boulevard to Nutley Street. At the traffic signal, they will need to turn right to Nutley Street south, then turn left at the traffic signal to access the ramp to I-66 west.
The closure is anticipated to last for approximately six weeks. All work is weather-dependent and will be rescheduled if inclement conditions occur.
The future ramp from Vaden Drive to the westbound 66 Express Lanes will be open for buses only during this period to assist in maintaining their service schedules. No other vehicles will be allowed to use the ramp during this time.
Drivers should be alert for changing traffic patterns on Nutley Street near I-66 as construction continues throughout 2022.
Weekly project updates will be available at Transform66.org.
