Waterline Installation Continues Overnights at Leesburg Pike (Route 7)/Spring Hill Road Intersection in Tysons Corner; Detours Required
 
Crews are scheduled to continue installation of a major waterline at the intersection of Leesburg Pike (Route 7) and Spring Hill Road. This will require the closure of all lanes of northbound Spring Hill Road for a 150-foot stretch north of Route 7.

Traffic from Route 7 will be detoured to use Westpark Drive, to Greensboro Drive, to access Spring Hill Road. Southbound Spring Hill Road traffic wishing to access Route 7 will use the reverse of that route. This work is expected to last through the overnight hours though Mid-May. Closures will not be used if work is completed early.
 
Ramp from Southbound I-495 to Southbound Route 123 to Close Overnights Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30
 
As bridge work over the Beltway continues, various lane and ramp closures will be required through the end of the year. This week, only one ramp closure is needed in that area.
 
Between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30, crews will close the ramp from southbound I-495 (Outer Loop) to southbound Route 123. Traffic will detour by staying on southbound I-495 and taking the exit to westbound Leesburg Pike (Route 7). From westbound Route 7, drivers can turn right on International Drive to access southbound Route 123.
