Wednesday, June 22, marked the 50th anniversary of the devastation caused by Hurricane Agnes.
The storm caused massive damage across the region, including washing out a bridge that carried Route 1 over the Occoquan River in Woodbridge and the iron Pratt truss bridge that carried Route 123 over the Occoquan River. The Town of Occoquan is planning an extended commemoration of Agnes during our Discover Occoquan week in August. Among the week’s planned activities is the dedication of a memorial that incorporates part of the truss bridge destroyed by the floodwaters.
