FREDERICKSBURG—The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) recently announced Windmill Point Road traffic would begin using a temporary bridge to cross Oyster Creek on Wednesday, November 11.
Traffic will use the single-lane temporary bridge until construction to build a new bridge is finished in May 2027, reported VDOT Fredericksburg District communications manager Kelly Hannon.
Due to the dimensions of the temporary bridge, a vehicle width restriction of 13 feet, 6 inches, will be in effect. Advance width restriction signs will be posted, said Hannon.
A temporary traffic signal will continue to control one-way, alternating traffic on Windmill Point Road in this work zone. The signal will control traffic 24 hours a day until the project is complete, she continued.
A temporary speed limit of 25 mph also is posted in the work zone and will remain in effect until construction is complete…..
