The bridge rehabilitation project on Simmons Gap Road – Route 628 –  was completed more than three weeks ahead of schedule.

The Route 628 bridge over the Lynch River in Greene County is open to traffic.

The bridge, located about 0.2-mile from the Albemarle County line and 0.5-mile from Route 614 (Brokenback Mountain Road), was scheduled to be closed through Jan. 8.
