Beginning on February 16, the ramp from Georgetown Pike to southbound I-495 in McLean, Virginia, will be closed nightly until February 28. The closure is scheduled between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night to facilitate noise wall work for the I-495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (495 NEXT) project.
Motorists traveling from east- and westbound Georgetown Pike to southbound I-495 will need to follow a detour. The route involves exiting Georgetown Pike onto southbound Balls Hill Road, turning left onto Lewinsville Road, then taking a right onto southbound Rt. 123/Dolley Madison Boulevard before accessing the on-ramp for southbound I-495.
The schedule may change due to inclement weather or other unforeseen delays. Drivers are advised to exercise caution and anticipate potential delays in this area.
