I-66 lanes to close at night in Haymarket area for crews to set bridge beams
Drivers can expect nighttime lane closures on I-66 over the next two weeks at US 15, weather permitting, for crews to set bridge beams for the new southbound US 15 overpass, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
On eastbound I-66, single-lane closures will begin around 8 p.m. each night Monday, Sept. 19 through Wednesday, Sept. 21. Beginning around 10 p.m., all eastbound traffic will be detoured onto the US 15 exit/entrance ramps back to I-66. All lanes will reopen by 5 a.m.
single-lane closures will begin around 9 p.m. each night Thursday, Sept. 22, and Monday, Sept. 26 and Tuesday, Sept. 27. Beginning around 10 p.m., all westbound traffic will be detoured onto the US15 exit/entrance ramps back to I-66. All lanes will reopen by 5 a.m.
Police will be on site to direct traffic. Drivers should expect delays and are advised to use alternate routes.
The work is part of the I-66 and US 15 diverging-diamond interchange project. Diverging-diamond interchanges shift vehicles to the opposite side of the road and eliminate left turns that cross into oncoming traffic, improving safety. The project is scheduled for completion in fall 2017.
