FAIRFAX, Va. - Lane and ramp closures are scheduled to occur during overnight hours this weekend (Friday, July 13 and Saturday, July 14) on westbound I-66 between Route 7 and the I-495 interchange.

Friday, July 13:
Alternating left and right single lane closures on westbound I-66 between Route 7 and the I-495 interchange between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m.
Temporary closure of the ramps from westbound I-66 to southbound I-495 regular and express lanes from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Travelers will be detoured to the exit for southbound Nutley Street, then take the ramp for eastbound I-66 back toward I-495.
