Gallows Road over I-66 is being reconstructed as part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project. The bridge is being lengthened, widened, raised, and shifted to the east to accommodate the new Express Lanes and provide room for future improvements along Gallows Road. Bike lanes and wider sidewalks are also being added along Gallows Road. 

Message boards on Gallows Road will provide advance notice of lane closures and traffic stoppages. Weekly updates will be available atTransform66.org and on Twitter @VaDOTNOVA. To receive project updates automatically by email, sign up here.
