newspaperUpdate: Monday, 5:21 p.m.  With rain in the forecast today and tomorrow, the planned closure and pavement work on Route 671 (Millington Road) at the Moormans River bridge has been postponed until Thursday.

 

Original post: Sunday, 1:22 p.m. Route 671 (Millington Road) over Moormans River in Albemarle County will be closed to traffic on Tuesday while crews overlay the bridge’s timber deck with asphalt.

The road will be closed for the preventive maintenance work from 8 a.m. Tuesday to 7 a.m. Wednesday. During the closure, southbound traffic will be detoured west on Route 674 (Clark Road), turn left on Route 810 (Browns Gap Turnpike) and left on Route 614 (Garth Road) which carries traffic back to Route 671. Northbound traffic will reverse the detour.
