110 Metro construction continues across the Beltway Large concrete segments are being hoisted into place above Interstate 495 (the Capital Beltway). These segments together build the spans between piers that will be connected to create the bridges for Dulles Corridor Metrorail tracks to cross this busy interstate in Tysons Corner, the largest concentration of office and retail development in Virginia. The crossing of the Beltway uses what is called a “balanced cantilever construction technique” involving a huge white horizontal crane, also known as truss. Crews officially began working on the crossing of the beltway in mid-February. Project officials estimate this work will take almost a year to complete. Over the coming months, this work will require overnight lane closings on the inner and outer loops of the beltway near Route 123. Some of those closings will be for multiple lanes. Currently, three northbound lanes are closed nightly from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. These closings will continue until late March, causing significant delays for motorists. However, traffic continues to flow through the single open lane northbound. In addition, the exit ramps from northbound I‐495 to both northbound and southbound Route 123 are be closed during these same hours. Drivers are being directed to use the following detour: To access Route 123 from the I-495, drivers will be directed to detour by continuing on the Beltway north, exiting Georgetown Pike (Route 193), turning around at Georgetown Pike, then entering the southbound Beltway. Drivers will be able to exit to both directions of Route 123 from southbound I-495. However, drivers on northbound I-495 approaching the Route 123 exit seeking destinations in the heart of Tysons Corner or in the Vienna /McLean/Falls Church area can also exit the Beltway at Route 7. Additional closings will be announced at a later date. In mid-summer, complete closures of the northbound and/or southbound will be scheduled. Top: Ground Zero. The familiar yellow and blue truss is seen building the spans over the Westpark Bridge, now widened to accommodate the HOT Lanes entrance. (the second yellow truss is now working west along 123 to the Tysons East station.) Bottom: A view across the Beltway from a pier on the West side looking east to the white and blue truss that will be constructing the span across I-495 over the coming year. Small picture: a view of the guideway as it is completed along 123. Before we know it, the tracks will be in place. VivaTysons | MARCH - APRIL 2011 vivatysons.com
Tunnels getting an interior facelift The space shuttle, a HAZMAT tent, something from ET? Not quite. The tunnels connecting the Metro from 123 to Route 7 are both complete. Below you can see the interior gunite walls being waterproofed. Above the walls are getting a vapor barrier and then the form shown to the right will slide through the tunnel as part of the installation of the new final reinforced concrete surface. vivatysons.com MARCH - APRIL 2011 | VivaTysons 111
