Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will be closing portions of Hunter Mill Road in coming days to facilitate repair and eventual replacement of the bridge at Difficult Run. VDOT recommended this action after an annual inspection of the bridge revealed severe corrosion of the steel beams. The bridge is located between Hunter Station Road and Lawyers Road.
“Hunter Mill Road is an absolutely vital link between the communities of Reston and Vienna, and our access to the Dulles Toll Road,” stated Hunter Mill Supervisor Cathy Hudgins. “ I am pleased that VDOT has agreed to expedite the repairs to minimize the impact on residents that rely on this important thoroughfare.”
Supervisor Hudgins wants to educate the public about the coming bridge repair work which will occur over the next several weeks. An information meeting on the project will be held on Monday, August 8, 7 p.m., at the North County Governmental Center, 12000 Bowman Towne Drive, in Reston.
