MWAA Cancels Hunter Mill Road Closing April 18-21

Update, Thursday:

MWAA has canceled the Hunter Mill closing. It may close at a future date.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drivers who use Hunter Mill Road in the Reston area will experience significant delays on or about April 18-21, when the road will be closed in both directions at the Dulles Toll Road between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., weather permitting, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced.

The nightly closings are necessary because of work on the bridge that will carry tracks for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project in the median of the Dulles Toll Road over Hunter Mill Road.

Drivers going south on Hunter Mill Road will need to detour by turning right on to Sunset Hills Road, left on Wiehle Avenue, then left on to Sunrise Valley Drive to reconnect with Hunter Mill Road south.

If traveling north on Hunter Mill Road, drivers must use the reverse of the southbound detour. They will be directed to turn left on Sunrise Valley Drive, right on Wiehle Avenue, then right on Sunset Hills Road to access northbound Hunter Mill Road.

Signs will be in place directing the detour. Police will be on site.
