Fairfax County expects the contractor Accubid Construction Services, Inc. to be moving forward soon with replacing the pedestrian bridge at Woodlawn Park.

Located at 4800 Manor Drive, off Pole Road, the park’s old bridge will be replaced with a new 35-foot fiberglass bridge. The park bond-funded project has a $64,000 price tag.

The county anticipates a three-week timeline, once construction commences.

During construction, the Park Authority said residents “should expect occasional construction traffic entering the parking lot of Woodlawn Park and along Pole Road,” as well as building equipment on the trails near the bridge construction area.
