Well Tysons Corner – Are You Ready for a Traffic Nightmare This Weekend?

Route 123 will be closed at the Beltway from 9:30pm tonight (Friday) until 5:00 am Monday. All traffic in and out of Tysons Corner will be detoured. The old Beltway bridge is being demolished and traffic is moved to a new bridge over Route 124.

When you leave the shopping areas, you will have to take Route 7. If you’re coming from McLean, you will be directed to Route 193 (Georgetown Pike).  Expect serious delays!

 The following ramps will be closed:

  • I495 north to Route 123 south
  • I495 south to Route 123 north
  • Route 123 south to I495 south
  • Route 123 north to I495 north

 The following ramps will be open:

  • Route 123 north to I495 south
  • Route 123 south to I495 north
  • I495 south to Route 123 south
  • I495 north to Route 123 north

If that isn’t enough, crews will be working on the Dulles Metrorail guideway piers over the Beltway, and the  Orange Line between East Falls Church and West Falls Church will be closed this weekend. The stations will be closed Saturday, June 12 at 7am and reopen on Monday June 14 at 5am. Traffic will be moved between the stations by shuttle bus. If you plan to take the shuttle bus, allow an extra 30 minutes to your travel time.

 Inbound traffic should plan to park at East Falls Church station and ride Metro from there. Parking is free on weekends.
