The Virginia Department of Transportation says motorists can expect lane closures and delays at the intersection of Route 50 and Lee Road in Chantilly this weekend as part of VDOT’s Route 50 widening project.

From 8 p.m. Friday until noon Saturday one or two lanes will be closed in each direction on Route 50 and traffic will periodically be stopped for up to 15 minutes at a time.

In addition, the ramp from southbound Route 28 to westbound Route 50 will be closed.

VDOT officials say signs will direct motorists to use Willard Road to access westbound Route 50. No left turns will be permitted onto Route 50 from Lee Road. VDOT says crews will be removing the existing traffic signal heads, poles and span wire and installing temporary signals.

Message boards will be posted alerting motorists to use alternate routes.

More information on the Route 50 project is available at www.virginiadot.org/projects/northernvirginia/route_50_widening.asp.

That's the intersection next to Red Robin that's always messed up even when there isn't construction.

I'd take this warning seriously. I'll bet the backup will go all the way to Loudoun County Parkway to the west and to Fairfax County Parkway to the east.

LOL.... periodic 15 minute traffic delays until noon will fuck that road for hours after the work is done. I bet all of Rt. 50 in that area is severely congested until 5 pm.

When are they anticipating being done with this construction? It used to be somwehat managable in the mornings, but it seems to have gotten worse this last month or so.

WTF???????

This project aims to relieve current and anticipated congestion, to provide pedestrian and cyclist accommodations, and to improve safety along the corridor. The road will also be more level and provide wider buffers between travel lanes and roadside hazards
