"The Wednesday into Thursday closures will occur between Route 29 in Centreville (Exit 52) and Route 28 (Exit 53). The Thursday into Friday closures will occur between Route 123 (Exit 60) and Nutley Street (Exit 62)," a spokesperson said. Each closure will last up to 30 minutes. “The closures are part of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s ongoing effort to install 36 new gantries as part of the I-66 Active Traffic Management System (ATMS),” VDOT said. “The first gantry went up in mid-November on I-66 East just before Route 28.”
VDOT announced that they will post message signs in advance of the work so that motorists can plan alternate routes. Residents can go to the VDOT website for more information on the project.
The traffic system is scheduled to begin operating between Route 29 in Centreville and the Capital Beltway in mid-summer 2015.
