OUR COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SAFETY

FALLS CHURCH’S HANS MILLER saw a long chain link drawn on the sidewalk of Rosemary Lane in the City alongside the message “Keep Us Connected - FCC.” He says he thought it was “really cool” and made him think of the negative aspects of the pandemic, like hoarding and other selfish acts, contrasted against more positive, community-minded actions.

W&OD Trail bridge construction is part of the Transform 66 Inside the Beltway Eastbound Widening Project, which is adding a travel lane along four miles of eastbound I-66 and installing approximately 12,000 linear feet of new and replacement noise barriers. The project also includes constructing a new direct access ramp from eastbound I-66 to the West Falls Church Metro Station at the Route 7 Interchange, which is scheduled to begin in spring 2020.

The additional eastbound lane is scheduled to open to traffic in fall 2020, and the overall project is expected to be complete in fall 2021.
