A new bridge on Old Carolina Road in Haymarket is set to open, and that means Old Carolina Road will reopen, too.
More in a Virginia Department of Transportation press release:
The Virginia Department of Transportation will reopen the Old Carolina Road/South Jefferson Street bridge over I-66 Wednesday, December 23, nearly five months earlier than scheduled. The bridge has been closed since September 2014.
The bridge’s new shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists remains under construction and is scheduled to open in the spring of 2016.
The bridge replacement is part of the$64.5 million project to widen I-66 from four to eight lanes between Route 15 in Haymarket and Route 29 in Gainesville. The project is scheduled for overall completion in the summer of 2016.
Also in Haymarket, there is ongoing work to improve the interchange at I-66 and Route 15.
