In Design: Springvale Road over Piney Run Bridge Replacement in Fairfax County

Note: A virtual public information meeting was held Oct. 21, watch the video here (password: vFMrkPf2). View more meeting-related information here. 

This project will replace the weight-restricted (15 tons) one-lane Springvale Road (Route 674) bridge over Piney Run with a two-lane bridge. The bridge was built in 1965 and rehabilitated in 2000.

Two options are being considered for the project:

• Widening the bridge to two lanes with two four-foot-wide shoulders.
• Widening the bridge to two lanes separated by raised/splitter island medians with two two-foot-wide shoulders.

The opening beneath the bridge will also be increased to better withstand flooding.

The bridge averages 4,700 vehicles a day.

The project is financed with state funding. Estimated project costs continue to be developed as the proposed improvements and preliminary design are refined.

Benefits 

The project aims to improve safety.

Major Milestones 

Virtual Public Information Meeting - October 2020

The schedule will be updated over the next several months as the project team refines the design, funding is identified or additional funding sources become available.
