Route 3/14 Westbound Bridge Rehabilitation

A major bridge rehabilitation project is underway on the Route 3/Route 14 westbound bridge over Burke Mill Stream, which is located at the Mathews and Gloucester line. Crews are improving the 76-year-old structure by replacing the bridge deck, beams, bridge railings, and guardrails. In late October 2024, the westbound Route 3/14 travel lanes will close at Windsor Road and eastbound and westbound Route 3/14 traffic will both cross the eastbound bridge over Burke Mill Stream, with one lane open in each direction. Left turns from Windsor Road to Route 14 eastbound are prohibited. Project completion in Nov. 2025.

Route 621 (Bruington Road) over Dickeys Swamp

This is one of multiple bridges undergoing repair as part of the $3.1 million bridge maintenance project in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula to address structure scour. Scour is the erosion of soil around a bridge’s foundation. Weather permitting, the road will reopen in mid-Dec. 2024.

Route 628 (Dorrell Road/Spring Cottage Road) Bridge Closure

Dorrell Road/Spring Cottage Road is closed at the bridge over the Mattaponi River, located at the King and Queen and King William county line. A detour route is posted. Construction is underway on a major bridge rehabilitation project. The road will remain closed until early June 2025. The bridge closed for motorist safety in March 2023 after a routine inspection found significant deterioration in key bridge elements.

Project completion in Aug. 2025.

Project completion was originally scheduled for Feb. 2024.

Route 606 (Mudd Tavern Road) Widening
