Virginia transportation officials warned drivers today about three construction projects that could cause delays, including a full closure of a portion of the Capital Beltway, and about a change to an ongoing repair project on interstate 95.
More about the Beltway closure in a press release from the Virginia Megaprojects office:
All lanes on I-495 South, Outer Loop, will close before Exit 50, Arlington Blvd. (Route 50) during overnight hours this Sunday night, Jan. 13, into early Monday morning, Jan. 14, to safely complete joint repair work. All traffic will be directed to use the access road adjacent to I-495 just north of the Route 50 Exit.
The closure and detour are scheduled to begin at 10:30 p.m. Sunday night until 5 a.m. Monday morning.
Drivers are advised to follow detour signs and use caution.
Commuters should also know about a project to install storm drain pipe along Seminary Road near Mark Center in Alexandria:
Beginning on or about January 14th, the left turn lane on Seminary Road (Route 420) west to Mark Center Avenue will be temporarily closed for the construction of two concrete medians and installation of storm drain pipe as part of the Mark Center transportation improvements projects.
The turn lane will be closed each day, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14 thru Thursday, Jan. 17, and again each night, Monday thru Thursday, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Over that weekend, the turn lane will be closed on Friday and Saturday nights, Jan. 18 and 19, from 9:30 p.m. to 9 a.m., and Sunday night, 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday morning.

This turn-lane improvement is part of the Mark Center Mid-Term Improvements Project. The project is expected to be complete in the summer of 2013. For more information on this project, go to markcenterroadproject.com.
