Highway crews are still working to open a new exit ramp on Interstate 66 to Route 234 north near Manassas.

I-66 East and West near Route 234 Business (Sudley Road) in Manassas will be reduced to a single lane in each direction for about one mile during the overnight hours Monday, March 21, through Friday, March 25, for continued bridge beam installation for a new access ramp to the future I-66 Express Lanes.

I-66 East will be closed with two-way traffic running on I-66 West so that crews can safely install bridge beams over the eastbound lanes.This work is part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project.

The ramp from Route 234 Business North and South to I-66 East will also be closed nightly with detours posted. Drivers traveling on I-66 and Route 234 Business in Manassas during this period should expect delays and consider using alternate routes.

All work is weather dependent and will be rescheduled if inclement conditions occur.

Here’s the plan for the work:

Monday, March 21, through Friday, March 25
I-66 East and West Between Route 234 Business and Bull Run
  • Around 10 p.m. each night, I-66 East traffic approaching Route 234 Business will be narrowed to a single lane and directed to cross over to the I-66 West side of the roadway. Eastbound traffic will remain in this pattern for approximately one mile and then cross back over to the I-66 East side of the roadway to resume normal travel prior to the Manassas Safety Rest Area.
  • Around 10:30 p.m. each night (10 p.m. Friday), I-66 West traffic approaching the Manassas Safety Rest Area will be narrowed to a single right lane and remain on the right side of the interstate.
