CULPEPER – Beginning Friday, July 31, Route 710 (Rectortown Road) will be closed at the bridge over Goose Creek in Fauquier County as a project to replace the bridge's deck begins. Weather permitting, the closure is expected to be established by noon, with a signed detour in place for through traffic.
During the work, a segment of Rectortown Road will be closed between approximately 1.4 miles west of Route 713 (Maidstone Road) and 2.2 miles east of Route 712 (Delaplane Grade Road). An approximately 10-mile detour will be in place for through traffic during the closure and uses the following routes:
- Delaplane Grade Road
- Route 17 (Winchester Road)
- Maidstone Road
Access to all private entrances within the project vicinity will be maintained for local traffic during construction. The work is expected to be complete with the detour lifted by Monday, Dec. 7, 2026.
This project will extend the bridge's service life and involves replacing the existing concrete deck, parapets, and approach guardrail. The existing bridge was originally constructed in 1961.
The contractor for this $1.9 million bridge maintenance project is WG Construction Co., Inc. of Manassas.
Drivers should use caution when traveling near the work zone and follow posted detour signs.
