Rt. 123 Left Lane Closures Return for 18-24 Months
Posted by Sam Salkin on Friday, June 25, 2010.
The left lane, one in each direction on Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road) under the Beltway in Tysons Corner will close beginning Sunday, June 27 at 9:30 p.m. for 18-24 months, weather permitting.

The north and southbound lane closures are necessary to provide construction room to build the new I-495 north bridge piers and HOT Lanes connections into Tysons Corner.

During peak morning and afternoon hours motorists should expect up to 15-minute delays. Route 123 will have two through traffic lanes and one merge lane in each direction. This closure was in place last year while crews built the new I-495 south bridge over Route 123.
