Recently Completed: Business Route 15 (Remington Road), Culpeper County

The Business Route 15 (Remington Road) bridge over the Rappahannock River at the Culpeper-Fauquier county line is open to traffic. The rehabilitation project was completed on time.

Under a $2.1 million construction contract, VDOT contractor M.D. Miller Co., Inc. of Baltimore, Maryland replaced the bridge deck, improved the approach spans on each end of the bridge and replaced select truss members. The truss span remained in place during the project.

During construction, which began in mid-November 2019, Business Route 15 was closed to traffic with a posted detour.

Benefits 

This project will rehabilitate an existing substandard bridge on a state-maintained roadway that serves residential areas, local businesses and industries.

If not rehabilitated, the existing bridge will continue to deteriorate and will eventually have to be closed to vehicles.
