FAIRFAX, Va. - Drivers on I-66 should plan for delays in western Fairfax and eastern Prince William counties near Bull Run Drive during the overnight hours the week of July 29. 

Lanes will be closed and traffic will be stopped intermittently during late night hours so construction crews can erect bridge beams for the new Bull Run Drive overpass. To ensure motorist safety, traffic will be stopped for periods of up to 30 minutes while the beams are lifted into place over I-66.

Bull Run Drive is being re-aligned and the bridge over I-66 reconstructed as part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project.
