Lane closures and intermittent traffic stoppages will resume on northbound I-495 in Virginia between Route 7 and north of the Dulles Toll Road from Monday, April 7 through Wednesday, April 30. These will take place during overnight hours to allow crews to continue the construction of a new 495 Express Lanes ramp at the I-495 and Dulles Corridor Interchange.
The closures will occur from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Saturday nights. The eastbound Dulles Toll Road/Airport Access Highway (Route 267) ramp to northbound I-495 (Capital Beltway) will also be closed nightly.
Drivers affected by the ramp closure should follow the detour by exiting onto I-495 South using Exit 18A to Richmond, then take Exit 46B for Route 123/Chain Bridge Road North, and continue in the ramp lane to merge onto I-495.
In the event of bad weather or other issues, the schedule may change. Drivers should use caution and prepare for possible delays.
Traffic updates can be accessed through VA 511, available online at 511.vdot.virginia.gov, via the mobile app, or by calling 511 in Virginia. The latest construction and lane closure information is available at 495next.vdot.virginia.gov.
