ng June 22, a portion of Brentsville Road will be closed for six months.
According to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the road will be closed in order to complete a $2.8 million project to replace the bridge over Broad Run.
Mehrdad Naderi, the area construction engineer, said that the road will be closed off for 100-feet on either side of the bridge area, but that drivers will be able to access other parts of the road.
The current bridge was built in 1957. After assessing the bridge, VDOT declared that it was in poor to fair condition. VDOT will be replacing the superstructure of the bridge and repairing the substructure, according to a release.
During the six month period, drivers will be detoured using Lucasville Road, Godwin Drive, Clover Hill Road, Dumfries Road (Rt. 234) and Prince William Parkway.
Here’s a map of the detour route.
The project is set to be completed in December.
VDOT will be hosting a public meeting on the project on June 17 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Brentsville District High School in Nokesville.
