All four lanes of Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road) under the Beltway in Tysons Corner will be closed from 9:30 p.m. Friday, June 11 until 5 a.m. Monday, June 14 for bridge demolition, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The following ramps will be closed along with the left lane on I-495 north:
• I-495 North to Route 123 South
• I-495 South to Route 123 North
• Route 123 south to I-495 South
• Route 123 north to I-495 North
Detours:
Traffic leaving the Tysons Corner shopping areas to McLean will be detoured from Route 123 north to I-495 south to Route 7 and back to I-495 north to continue on Route 123 north. Traffic heading to Tysons from McLean will be directed to use I-495 north to Georgetown Pike (Route 193) to I-495 south back to Route 123 south. Motorists should expect delays around the Route 123/I-495 interchange and on Georgetown Pike and Route 7. Police will be onsite to direct traffic. VDOT urges motorists familiar with the area to use alternate routes.
Once the old beltway bridge is demolished crews will begin construction on the new beltway bridges and a new HOT Lanes connection into Tysons Corner at the Westpark Drive bridge. Crews will also start construction of Dulles Metrorail guideway piers over the Capital Beltway. Should inclement weather cancel the closure, it will be rescheduled for June 18-21.
The work is part of the Capital Beltway High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes Project.
About the HOT Lanes Project: Bridge work is underway at 12 of the Capital Beltway’s interchanges inside the HOT Lanes Project work zone between the Springfield Interchange and just north of the Dulles Toll Road throughout the spring, summer and fall. These new bridges and interchange connections are part of the $260 million infrastructure replacement in support of the $1.4 billion Capital Beltway HOT Lanes project. The project is on schedule for completion by early 2013. For updated project information please visit www.VAmegaprojects.com
