Recently Completed: Route 625 (Barricks Mill Road) Bridge Replacement

Route 625 (Barricks Mill Road) in Middlesex County reopened to traffic on Dec. 6, 2021, after Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews opened a new bridge over Barrick's Pond.

The new bridge is a 40-foot long concrete slab structure, and replaced a 22-foot long timber bridge that was classified as structurally deficient. New pavement was installed at the bridge's approaches.

Barricks Mill Road traffic followed a three-mile detour during construction, which started in June 2021. Around 420 vehicles travel on Barricks Mill Road daily.

The project was accomplished using VDOT's state forces bridge crew.

Benefits 

The project will replace the existing structurally deficient, timber deck bridge with a new 40-foot concrete slab structure on concrete abutments and concrete piles.
