Original release:
CULPEPER — The Virginia Department of Transportation will replace the Route 603 (Bowlers Mill Road) bridge over the South Anna River in Louisa County.
To accommodate traffic on the dead-end road, crews will construct a temporary road adjacent to the bridge.
Motorists should expect construction activities starting May 26. The new bridge will open to traffic in late September.
The existing Route 603 bridge was built in 1982 and is considered structurally deficient with a posted weight restriction. After construction, the bridge will be open to all legal-weight vehicles.
