Overnight work to close Beltway next weekend

Drivers beware: Both directions of the Capital Beltway near Tysons Corner will be closed intermittently during a five-hour stretch overnight next Friday to complete work for the Dulles Metrorail extension.

The Virginia Department of Transportation is shutting down all lanes of Interstate 495 for segments up to 30 minutes at the Chain Bridge Road interchange from midnight Friday, Sept. 25, to 5 a.m. the following Saturday.

The closures also include the exit ramps to and from Route 123, Chain Bridge Road.

Dominion Virginia Power needs the highway closed so it can relocate overhead power lines for the expansion of Metrorail for the Dulles Rail project, according to VDOT.
