The dates/times of the I66 detours keep changing. You can stay up to date on this at the following URL: http://www.virginiadot.org/comtravel/ct-I66Detour.asp

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) released a statement advising that it plans to shut down I-66 eastbound lanes overnight, when the traffic volume is the lowest, at Route 234 Business (Exit 43) for up to one month starting Aug. 21st or 29th. Once crews finish paving the new eastbound lanes, work will immediately shift to the westbound lanes at Route 234 Bypass (Exit 47), closing I-

Here is a schedule of the Nissan concerts. Looks like there are only a couple on weekdays and traffic should be lighter with school out, but who knows with traffic in this area lately.

Rt 28 is a main alternative to the 66. It's probably equal to the 29 in terms of the drive time, and while perhaps not as scenic, it does have more commercial options (and bail out routes) as you reach the outskirts of Manassas (Park) and as you pass through Old Town Manassas. Take Braddock Rd south to the 28 Turn left on 28 Stay on the 28 (aka Centreville Rd in Fairfax, Nokesville Rd in PW

If you opt to avoid the 66 by taking Rt29, you might save some time by taking Groveton Road a little further west on the 29 instead of turning off at Business 234 and picking up Balls Ford or continuing through the commercial area. I haven't tried this myself yet, but should be better. Groveton dead ends at Balls Ford Rd very close to the first intersection of the 234 ByPass after leaving 66 (

Here is a scenic route someone gave me that cuts through the wilderness. Should be a good alternative when the foilage changes. I tried it last Friday and it took me less than 40 minutes to get from GMU to PWC. I've tried it a few times around 5-6pm under heavy traffic conditions and it can take closer to an hour. You may not like all the windy roads but it beats sitting on 66. From Fairfax:
