The Virginia Department of Transportation Warrenton bridge crew in Fauquier County announced Thursday that it has replaced the superstructure on Route 610 a full week ahead of schedule.

The project to replace the superstructure started May 2, shutting down a section of Route 610 a little less than a mile south of Route 28 (Catlett Road). Workers estimated a completion date of June 3.

However, shortly before lunchtime today, workers removed the message boards, and detour signs, and re-opened the road to through traffic, beating the original estimate, just in time for Memorial Day traffic.
