A portion of Joplin Road remains closed today after heavy rains last week washed out a bridge.
The two-lane byway links Interstate 95 with Route 234 at Independent Hill, near Colgan Senior High School.
Here’s more in a press release from the Virginia Department of Transportation:
The Joplin Road (Route 619) bridge over the South Fork of Quantico Creek is closed until further notice to repair damage sustained during floods that occurred on Aug. 13, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Drivers are asked to use an alternate route.
Crews are on the scene of the washout working to repair the bridge. They posted these photos to Twitter:
The Joplin Rd bridge remains closed. Crews have been visiting the site daily and had a very special surprise supervisor today. https://t.co/YhQzz9rMkZ pic.twitter.com/7h2dQR7chL
