Weekend Detours for Pedestrian Bridge Installation
Friday, July 28 at 10 p.m. through Saturday, July 29 at 6 a.m.
On or about Friday, July 28 at 10 p.m. through Saturday, July 29 at 6 a.m., detours will occur on the Dulles Toll Road, Dulles Greenway, and Sunrise Valley Drive.  (Alternate dates:  Saturday, July 29 at 10 p.m. through Sunday, July 30 at 6 a.m., if necessary.) The detours will allow Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project crews to set a pedestrian bridge that will provide access over the eastbound Dulles Toll Road to the Silver Line's Innovation Center Metrorail Station, and to continue work on the aerial guideway over the Dulles Greenway. See details below.
Information about additional detours will be forthcoming as the work progresses through July and in the upcoming months. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
