Expect Road Detours

Stafford County, Va. –– Residents should get ready for another road closure.

Beginning Monday May 2, Decatur Road at the intersection of Widewater Road will close for two weeks as crews work to repair the drainage on the shoulders of the roads.

The Virginia Department of Transportation has placed electronic message board signs in the area to warn drivers of the impending closure.

There has been a detour route set up for drivers to use: drivers should use Brent Point Road to Arkendale Road, where signs will guide drivers along the recommended route, said VDOT spokeswoman Kelly Hannon.

The project is expected to cost $150,000, and when completed will have improved the drainage on the roads in the area, added Hannon.

Crews are also working on replacing the Potomac Creek Bridge in Stafford County. That work has also brought changes in travel patterns in the county.
