Eastbound I-66 traffic will be directed into a single lane and be diverted behind barrier onto new roadway during this time. During the overnight hours Tuesday, June 7, and Wednesday, June 8, two travel lanes of eastbound I-66 approaching Monument Drive will be closed each night. This work is part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project.
