With all the construction on I-66 during non-rush hour times, here are some
alternate routes to Route 28:

   Beltway from Springfield and points South:

      Braddock Road (Rte. 620) west past George Mason and Route 123 (it is at
      least two lanes each way from I-495 to Va-123).  Go straight through the
      light at Va-123 (Ox Road) and Braddock Road narrows from four lanes to
      two.  A little curvy but not a bad ride ... go to the next light, which
      is Shirley Gate Road and take a right.  This is a four-lane road to where
      it ends at Lee Highway.  Take a left on Lee Highway (Route 29).  This will
      intersect with Route 28 in Centreville ... take Route 28 north (right turn)
      and follow that up to Willard Road, as described above (I-66 is less than
      a mile away once you have turned onto Va-28)

   Beltway from Tysons Corner and points North:

      Take the Dulles Toll Road to Route 28 (from the beltway, it is 85 cents
      total toll) ... the construction has been completed on the westbound side
      and it is much quicker now.  Take Va-28 South (left at the stop light
      beyond the toll booth).  Willard Road is the first stop light AFTER the
      Route 50 interchange and you will need to make a LEFT onto Willard Road.

I hope this helps make the trip out here worth it.
