DALE CITY — A portion of Princedale Drive that washed out after heavy rain on July 4 will reopen Saturday, August 24.
Virginia Department of Transportation crews worked to replace a stormwater drain pipe and one of two sidewalks, the road will reopen
- A second sidewalk in need of replacement will remain closed while crews complete final work on the headwall.
- After several inches of rain fell in a short period of time on July 4, the force of the water conveyed from a tributary of Neabsco Creek pushed the existing pipe into in the stream, causing the asphalt above it to fail.
- VDOT crews replaced the 84-inch diameter galvanized metal pipe with two 130-foot long runs of 60-inch diameter concrete pipe. Before that, crews also performed work to relieve water pressure within the creek, and stabilized utility pipes.
- Drivers are asked to be aware of crews still in the work zone.
