FAIRFAX – Continued beam installation for new I-66 bridges over Stringfellow Road will required Stringfellow Road North and South approaching I-66 to be closed during the overnight hours Sunday, July 10. A detour route will direct drivers around the closure. Extra time should be allowed for those traveling in this area. This work is part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project.

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

Additionally, I-66 East approaching Stringfellow Road will be reduced to a single travel lane during this period. Traffic will be directed into one lane and diverted behind barrier onto new roadway to get around the work zone.
