Traffic alert for 460 West bridge construction

Motorists should expect delays due to bridge repairs on Route 460 West/Route 29 South over Martin Street (Route 677) in Lynchburg from 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 4 through 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 8, and again from 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 11 through 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 15.

These closures are due to necessary milling and paving work on the bridge surface.

Only one lane will be closed at a time, beginning with the right lane on Aug. 4. Once the right lane is finished, work will move to the left lane, on Aug. 11. All work is weather permitting.

Motorists are encouraged to allow for extra travel time during the listed construction periods, or find an alternate route. The Department of Transportation will provide adequate signs for the closure.
