Overnight closures on Fairfax Parkway through Friday

By WTOP Staff

WASHINGTON – The Interstate 66 ramps to and from northbound Fairfax County Parkway/Route 286 will close overnight starting Tuesday as crews work on paving the Fair Lakes/Fairfax County Parkway interchange.

Detours will be posted from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Thursday night, May 30. On Friday May 31, signs will be posted from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m.

Police will be on-site to provide assistance.

Single-lane closures and detours onto Fair Lakes Circle run from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday though Friday nights for the next eight weeks. Crews are working along Fair Lakes Parkway and the Fairfax County Parkway from Route 29 to Rugby Road.

The new $69.5 million interchange improves pedestrian and bike access, widens more than three miles of the Fairfax County Parkway and improves traffic flow by separating local and Parkway traffic.

Completion of the project is slated for this October.
