Eastbound I-66 between the Fairfax Drive/Glebe Road exit (Exit 71) and the Route 29/Spout Run Parkway exit (Exit 72) will have single-lane closures, weather permitting, from 10 p.m. Friday, March 8 to 5 a.m. Saturday, March 9 to implement a traffic shift, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
During that time, the eastbound I-66 lanes beneath the Washington-Liberty High School parking garage (between North Stafford and North Quincy streets) will be shifted to the right as part of the parking garage repairs project. This shift is scheduled to be in place until this summer.
The Parking Garage Repairs over I-66 Project includes:
- Garage platform and ramp repairs with joint replacement
- Repairs to beams and columns
- Partial removal of the elastomeric bearing sheets
The project is scheduled for completion this fall. Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to use caution when traveling in active work zones. Be alert to new traffic patterns and limit distractions.
