I-66 Connector Ramp to West Falls Church Metro Station

public meeting Wednesday (July 10) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Yorktown High School

Construction work on a connector ramp from I-66 to the West Falls Church Metro station is set to start a year later than planned.

“Our project manager, Mark Gibney, has confirmed that construction of the I-66 connector ramp to the West Falls Church Metro station will begin construction in summer 2020 and finish by fall 2021,” Michelle Holland, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Transporation, tod Tysons Reporter.

Currently, cars traveling eastbound on I-66 to the Metro station exit from I-66, turn right to head south on Route 7 (Leesburg Pike), turn left at the intersection at Haycock Road and then turn left onto Falls Church Drive. “VDOT has identified operational and safety issues with this maneuver, especially during AM and PM peak periods,” according to the project’s website.

The new ramp, which is a part of the I-66 widening project, would connect two existing ramps, spitting drivers out onto Falls Church Drive.

While the VDOT website currently says that construction is set to begin this summer and get completed by fall 2o20, the spokesperson said that the website will soon get updated to reflect the correct information.

VDOT plans to hold a public meeting with a construction update on Wednesday (July 10) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Yorktown High School (5200 Yorktown Blvd) in Arlington.

Both Patsy's American and Randy's Steakhouse will be open just up the road by the end of the month.

Up the road? It’s nearly 10 minutes away with no traffic.

Stick to the District. You got Patsy's American right, but the next offering is actually Randy's Prime Seafood and Steaks.

I would not refuse just free space. Our house seems so small after giving birth to a second child. I even experimented with construction estimate software to understand how much more expensive it will be for me to rebuild the terrace into an additional room (insulated). If home construction also went as quickly as commercial, then I would sign papers with contractors tomorrow. Which choice is worse - a repair or a new mortgage?
