FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close Route 621 (Bruington Road) between Route 14 and Route 360 at the bridge over Dickeys Swamp for repairs.

This is one of multiple bridges undergoing repair as part of the $3.1 million bridge maintenance project in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula areas to address structure scour. 

Scour is the erosion of soil around a bridge’s foundation. 

Weather permitting, the road will reopen in mid-December.

The posted detour route is approximately 13 miles, which is Route 14 and Route 360.
