Stafford County, Va. –– Railroad work will force the closure of a two-lane road this month.
CSX Corporation will replace railroad ties along its tracks at the Brooke Virginia Railway Express station in Aquia.
The work will force the closure of Hope Church Road starting Wednesday March 9, from 8:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. The work will continue the following night during the same time frame.
The road will once again close on Wednesday March 16, from 8:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m., and again the following night during the same time frame, said Virginia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kelly Hannon.
While cars won’t be able to traverse the road during those time frames emergency vehicles will be granted access to the road, said Hannon.
VDOT plans to place warning signs in the area to alert drivers of the closure.
The affected road sits less than mile from VRE’s Brooke station.
