VIENNA – On Friday, June 30 around noon, weather permitting, Hunter Mill Road (Route 674) traffic will shift to the other side of the new bridge over Colvin Run between Crowell Road (Route 675) and Cobble Mill Road as part of the Hunter Mill Road over Colvin Run bridge project, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

One lane of alternating traffic will travel across the newly constructed portion of the bridge while the other side of the bridge is closed in order to construct the median/splitter island.  The alternating traffic will continue to be controlled by temporary signals.

The Hunter Mill Road over Colvin Run bridge project, scheduled for completion later this summer, is replacing the old weight-restricted one-lane Hunter Mill Road bridge over Colvin Run that was built in 1974. When completed, the new bridge will have two lanes separated by a median/splitter island. The project also includes an improved trail crossing south of the bridge, landscaping in the median/splitter island and abutments for a new trail bridge over Colvin Run (Fairfax County will construct the trail bridge in the future). 

Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are reminded to use caution when traveling in active work zones. Be alert to new traffic patterns and limit distractions.  

You can get real-time traffic, work zone and incident information online at 511virginia.org, via the free mobile 511Virginia app, or by calling 511 in Virginia anywhere anytime.
