Don’t worry, it’s not a huge stretch of road. But it is definately gone.
Do not be surprised if the you’re coming from McLean and as you get closer to the Capital One building and where route 123 meets the beltway, the traffic starts to slow. I know it often does this anyway, but it will be even more so now. The Dulles Metro project is in full swing, and in order to do what they need to do there will be some hiccups in our Tysons Corner (McLean + Vienna) Area traffic patterns.
The stretch that the lane is missing is basically on West bound route 123, starting at the intersection of Scott’s Crossing and Route 123 and going upto the 495 (Beltway) overpass. This construction coincides with the location of the Tysons East Metro stop. It will be the first of 4 Metro stops on the Dulles Metro line, also known as the Silver line.
