Weekend Detour for Pedestrian Bridge Installation  
Friday, Sept. 22 at 10 p.m. through Saturday, Sept.
 
23 at 6 a.m.
On or about Friday, Sept. 22 at 10 p.m. through Saturday, Sept. 23 at 6 a.m. (with a backup date of Saturday, Sept. 23 at 10 p.m. through Sunday, Sept. 24 at 6 a.m. if necessary), the westbound Dulles International Airport Access Highway (DIAAH) will be diverted to the westbound Dulles Toll Road (DTR). The detour will allow Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project crews to set a pedestrian bridge that will provide access over the westbound highways to the Silver Line's Reston Town Center Metrorail Station.
 
See details below and on the next page.

Information about additional detours will be forthcoming as the work progresses through the upcoming months. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
