Two-Year lane closing on for Dulles Metrorail starts Feb. 22
Written by jrood
Slide 1 The right lane of southbound Route 123 between Scotts Crossing Road and the I-495 Capital Beltway Inner Loop will close for approximately two years beginning on or about Monday, Feb. 22. The closing had been previously scheduled to begin on or about Feb. 8 but the recent snowstorms forced a delay.
The
closing is necessary for construction of the Tysons East Metrorail Station, one
of four rail stations to be built in Tysons Corner by the Dulles Corridor
Metrorail Project. The station will be on the northwest side of Dolley Madison
Boulevard (Route 123) and Capital One Drive.
The
closed lane will provide a safe workspace for crews working on station
construction. Capital One employees, vendors and visitors will still have
right-turn lane access to the property’s main entrance via a shorter right-turn
lane. Both entrance ramps to the Capital Beltway in this area will remain open.
Other
construction work is taking place at other locations along Route 123 in Tysons
Corner and drivers are cautioned to be extremely careful and to watch for signs
and other alerts.
