Between 10 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Saturday, traffic on westbound Route 7 will be shifted to the newly constructed lanes from Reston Avenue to Rolling Holly Drive, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

In addition, traffic entering Georgetown Pike (Route 193) from Route 7 will be shifted to the west and the access ramp from Georgetown Pike to westbound Route 7 will be opened.

Motorists can expect lane closures on both Route 7 and Georgetown Pike in the area between 9 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday.

The shift is needed to allow the next phase of construction to proceed for the project to widen Route 7 from four to six lanes between Reston Avenue and Rolling Holly Drive. The $34 million project is scheduled for completion in December.
