Part of Va. 631 (Union School Road) in Rockbridge County is scheduled to be closed to through traffic for about three months beginning Monday, Aug. 7. This closure will allow the Virginia Department of Transportation to replace a bridge over a Kerrs Creek tributary. The location is just east of the intersection with Va. 631/638 (Muddy Lane).
Local traffic on Union School Road will have access to properties on either side of the work zone. Through traffic will detour as follows: From the east side of the bridge, drivers will go east on Va. 631 (Union School Road), north on Va. 631 (Stillhouse Road), west on Route Va. 850 (West Midland Trail), and then south on Va. 638 (Muddy Lane) to the end of the detour.
Drivers approaching from the west side of the bridge will go north on Va. 638 (Muddy Lane, east on Va. 850 (West Midland Trail), south on Va. 631 (Stillhouse Road), and then west on Va. 631 (Union School Road) to the end of the detour.
The Va. 631 bridge replacement is scheduled for completion on or about Nov. 9. All work is weather permitting.
