By Aya Karouane
While driving through this confusing interchange at I-66 and I-495, it’s appropriate to play “Flight of the Bumblebee,” on the stereo with the volume up.

From Dec. 8 to Dec. 10, multiple I-66 ramps will be closed overnight, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., for drainage work as part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project. Drivers should follow signed detours, and all work is weather and schedule dependent.
