Towlston Road bridge over Rocky Run in Great Falls opened Sunday.
The Virginia Department of Transportation re-opened two bridges in Fairfax County on Sunday, Aug. 31, after crews worked quickly to replace the crossings in just two months and restore traffic for school bus routes.
Towlston Road over Rocky Run in Great Falls opened Sunday. Plans were underway to replace the original 1949 bridge when it was washed out by Tropical Storm Lee in 2011. The new bridge replaced a temporary structure provided under emergency contract in 2011 and now has an improved hydraulic capacity to handle high water during storms.
The $1 million project was completed by Shirley Contracting Company. For project details, visit http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/northernvirginia/towlston_road.asp.
The Twin Lakes Bridge over Johnny Moore Creek in Clifton re-opened Sunday afternoon too.
