FREDERICKSBURG – Temporary traffic signals will be activated on Monday, June 4, 2012 on Route 3 at the John Andrew Twigg Bridge between Mathews and Middlesex counties.

The signals had been scheduled to be activated today at noon.

Next Monday, a traffic signal will be activated on each side of the bridge over the Piankatank River to control traffic. The signals will be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, during the two-year bridge rehabilitation project.

One travel lane will be closed on the bridge throughout the project. Northbound and southbound traffic will alternate crossing the bridge in a single travel lane.

A concrete barrier will separate traffic from the work zone on the bridge.
