Stafford County, Va. –– Road work on the Potomac Creek Bridge on Brooke Road has been postponed until Monday April 4.
Inclement weather forced the postponement, but electronic message board signs will be in place to warn drivers of changes to their commutes when the project begins.
The four-month operation will see the reconstruction of the bridge deck and add new beams to the bridge that traverses the Potomac Creek. Construction was supposed to begin today, said Virginia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kelly Hannon.
Detours for drivers will be put in place when construction begins:
For motorists traveling north on Brooke Road, the recommended detour route is Deacon Road (Route 607) to Leeland Road (Route 626) to Potomac Run Road (Route 626) to Eskimo Hill Road (Route 628).
For motorists traveling south on Brooke Road, the recommended detour route is Eskimo Hill Road (Route 628) to Potomac Run Road (Route 626) to Leeland Road (Route 626) to Deacon Road (Route 607).
Access to the Virginia Railway Express train station at Brooke will be available throughout the project. Motorists can reach the train station entrance on Brooke Road from Andrew Chapel Road (Route 629) or Eskimo Hill Road.
