On Monday, October 5th, a bridge located on Beason Lane (Route 857) approximately 320 feet from the intersection of Beason Lane, West River Road and Poor Mountain Road, will be replaced and the roadway beyond the bridge will be closed. Please see the attached map indicating the location of the bridge in red. Four houses located north of the bridge will be impacted. The closure is anticipated to last about five hours before individual vehicles may cross. A pedestrian bridge will be located at the construction site to allow residents to cross the waterway on foot. Residents have been directed to park their vehicles near the Poor Mountain Road intersection in the right-of-way across from the church. Roanoke County Fire and Rescue will be staging equipment across the bridge. VDOT has contacted property owners to make them aware of the plan.
