On Saturday, Sept. 21, the Virginia Department of Transportation will begin improvements on an Isle of Wight County bridge deck, requiring a portion of Route 626 (Mill Swamp Road/Cary Street) to close temporarily while the work is underway. Detour Map.
The bridge over Mount Holly Creek on Route 626 will close to through traffic for no more than one week while crews mill the existing bridge deck over Mount Holly Creek and overlay it with latex modified concrete. These improvements will result in a smoother ride for motorists.
A signed detour will be in place directing motorists on Route 626 (Mill Swamp Road/Cary Street) to utilize Emmanuel Church Road, Waterworks Road and Route 258 to get around the temporary closure.
Motorists are advised to plan their commute by using VDOT’s free traffic information tools:
