VDOT will implement nighttime closures on the U.S. 29/250 bypass in Albemarle County at the Route 601 (Old Ivy Road) overpass beginning Monday, Oct. 6, to allow crews to repair three damaged bridge beams.

These closures will occur nightly Oct. 6 through Oct. 10 between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

The Old Ivy Road bridge will remain closed during repairs and will reopen as soon as work is complete, and the bridge is safe for traffic.

These closures are in addition to the nighttime closures scheduled for Oct. 4–6 as part of ongoing construction work at the overpass.

Separate signed detours will be in place for truck and passenger vehicle traffic during each closure.

  • Truck traffic traveling north will follow Interstate 64 east to Exit 124, continue west on S. 250 (Richmond Road), and then take the ramp for U.S. 29 north (Emmet Street/Seminole Trail).
  • Passenger vehicles and local traffic heading north will use S. 250 Business (Ivy Road) and Emmet Street. To reach points south of the closure, drivers will use the U.S. 29/250 west exit at Route 601 (Old Ivy Road), turn left onto eastbound U.S. 250 Business, then take an immediate right to continue on U.S. 29/250.
