The location is at the intersection with Route 615 (Main Street), where crews from the Virginia Department of Transportation will replace a culvert over a tributary to Hot Springs Run. During construction, Route 687 motorists will follow a stop-and-proceed pattern at the temporary crossing.

The culvert replacement is scheduled for completion by Thursday, Oct. 28. All work is weather permitting.
