The Route 50 Interchange is being rebuilt and improved as part of the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project. The new interchange design will:

• Add Express Lanes access to and from the east
• Construct new Route 50 bridges over I-66 to improve traffic flow and create room for future mass transit
• Add noise wall along the ramp from I-66 West to Route 50 West
• Build a shared-use path through the interchange connecting Random Hills Park and Fairfax Corner with Fairfax Farms Road and points to the east

Get a closer look at what’s planned through the Transform 66 Interactive Map.

What Neighbors Can Expect

• Noisy construction activities such as bridge demolition and pile driving will be avoided at night, when possible. Noise to expect at night includes back-up alarms on equipment and trucks, which is necessary to protect worker safety
• Lighting of the construction work area will be directed to minimize light pollution for nearby residents
• Project emails and website will be used to communicate major traffic switches or nighttime work

What Drivers Can Expect

• Drivers should expect traffic shifts and temporary ramp closures as work progresses at the interchange. Sign up for project email updates to keep up to date.
