CENTREVILLE – Northbound Route 29 (Lee Highway) will have single-lane closures between White Post Road and Paddington Lane, weather permitting, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26 to implement a traffic shift, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

During that time, the northbound Route 29 lanes between White Post Road and Paddington Lane will be shifted to a split configuration with one lane to the left and the other lane to the right of the work area in the median. The split configuration will be in place until this winter.

The shift is part of the project to rehabilitate the northbound Route 29 (Lee Highway) bridge over Cub Run to improve driver and pedestrian safety and extend the overall life of the bridge. The improvements include:

• Replacing the concrete deck and bridge rails
• Installing steel beams
• Adding a walkway with barrier and connecting the walkway to the existing sidewalk just north of the bridge
• Rebuilding the concrete pedestals
• Replacing the bridge bearings
• Repairing cracks

The project is scheduled for completion in spring 2023.

Drivers and pedestrians are reminded to use caution when traveling in active work zones. Be alert to new traffic patterns and limit distractions.
