UPDATE (6/15/2021): There will be a simultaneous, 10-minute stoppage of traffic on I-66 East and West approaching Stringfellow Road tonight, Tuesday, June 15, to move materials. State Police will help coordinate the stoppages.

FAIRFAX – Northbound and southbound Stringfellow Road approaching I-66 will close nightly Saturday, June 12, Monday, June 14, and Tuesday, June 15, to allow for continued installation of bridge beams for a new I-66 East bridge over Stringfellow Road as part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project. Drivers traveling on Stringfellow Road will be directed to a detour route and should allow extra time. 

The Stringfellow Road ramps to I-66 East/from I-66 West will also be closed during this time. 

Additionally, traffic stoppages are planned for I-66 East and West approaching Stringfellow Road during the overnight hours Saturday night, June 12, between midnight and 4 a.m., so that crews can move a bridge beam at Stringfellow Road. Traffic on I-66 will be stopped in both directions simultaneously for up to 10 minutes to accommodate this work. State Police will help coordinate the stoppages.

Details include: 

Saturday, June 12; Monday, June 14; and Tuesday, June 15
