The southbound I-495 ramp to the westbound Dulles Toll Road (Exit 45A), and the southbound I-495 ramp to eastbound Route 267 (Exit 45B) will also remain open. Drivers should plan for delays and are encouraged to seek alternate routes.
Crews will be conducting restriping work related to a temporary traffic shift for bridge joint work, according to VDOT. On Sunday morning, southbound I-495 traffic will be shifted to the left for about two months so crews can remove and replace joints along the three bridges over the Dulles Toll Road and related ramps.
