“With a big smile on my face, I move approval of A-7 recommended by the county executive,” said Supervisor Walter L. Alcorn, Hunter Mill District moments before the Board approves endorsement of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Design Public Hearing plans for the Hunter Mill Road Over Colvin Run Bridge Replacement Project. According to VDOT, the existing bridge was built in 1974 and averages 8,500 vehicles a day. The multi-modal project will replace the existing, structurally deficient one-lane bridge, with significant corrosion of steel girder webs and flanges, with a two-lane bridge separated by a median/island splitter. The project is intended to reduce congestion, improve safety, enhance traffic operations, and provide facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists. VDOT still needs to proceed with final design plans to keep the project on schedule. Construction is planned for Spring 2021, estimated cost $5.5M.
