Dulles Toll Road and the Dulles International Airport Access Road to Close Four Times Overnight Tonight

During the late night hours tonight, Tuesday, May 4, and the early morning hours tomorrow, Wednesday, May 5, all eastbound and westbound lanes of the Dulles Toll Road and the Dulles International Airport Access Highway will be temporarily closed four separate times between midnight and 2:45 a.m. This will take place just east of the Hunter Mill Road interchange.

At 11 p.m. tonight, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police will begin setting barriers and tapering off the lanes leading to the full closures. Traffic will be stopped in 15-minute segments between midnight and 2:45 a.m., and then all of the lanes will be reopened. The closing of the Airport Access Highway and the Toll Road will affect both the westbound off-ramp and the eastbound on-ramp from Hunter Mill Road.

The closings will allow Dominion Virginia Power to remove existing lines. Two weeks ago, new power lines needed for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project were put into place at this site.

Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police will be on site to ensure motorists' safety. In case of rain, the closings will take place the night of May 5 and early morning of May 6.

For construction-related emergencies, call the Project Hotline at 877-585-6789. For information about the project, visit www.dullesmetro.com, or call 703-572-0506.
