WASHINGTON — The Virginia Department of Transportation is seeking public input on the widening of Interstate 66 inside the Capital Beltway.

Two public meetings are scheduled this week: at 6:30 p.m. Monday in Arlington at Washington-Lee High School, and at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School, in Falls Church.

Transit staff is expected give a presentation on the widening of eastbound I-66 from the Dulles Connector Road on-ramp to the Fairfax Drive exit.  The presentation will include design concepts, the preliminary project schedule and an environmental assessment.

There will also be stations with information display boards staffed by VDOT project team members who will answer the public’s questions.
