Interstate 66 east and west near Sudley Road near Manassas will be reduced to a single lane in each direction for about one mile during the overnight hours Monday, March 28, through Friday, April 1, for continued bridge beam installation for a new access ramp to the future I-66 E-ZPass Express Lanes.

I-66 East will be closed with two-way traffic running on the I-66 west side 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 Sudley Road north and south to I-66 east will also be closed nightly with detours posted.

Drivers traveling on I-66 and Sudley Road in Manassas during this period should expect delays and consider using alternate routes.

According to the Virginia Department of Transportation, all work is weather dependent and will be rescheduled if inclement conditions occur.
