Construction begins Aug. 3 on Route 759 bridge replacement project in Fluvanna County

CULPEPER – Beginning Monday, Aug. 3, construction will begin on a project to replace the Route 759 (White Hall Road) bridge over Mechunk Creek in Fluvanna County. The project is expected to be complete in September 2027.

During construction, a temporary bridge will be installed at Mechunk Creek to maintain access between Route 250 (Richmond Road) and properties north of the bridge. Access to all properties will be maintained throughout construction.

The project will replace the existing bridge’s substructure and install wider and longer single-span, concrete beams. The improvements will increase the bridge’s total width by 7.5 feet and accommodate all legal loads.

Drivers should use caution when traveling near the work zone and follow posted signs. All work is weather permitting.
