VDOT improves Nathaniel Ellicott footbridge in Occoquan

By Potomac Local News

The scenic Nathaniel Ellicott footbridge over the Occoquan River got a bit of a facelift this week. The bridge links the town in Prince Willaim County to the Vulcan rock quarry in Fairfax County. A spillway makes for a serene waterfall near the bridge. Before Hurricane Agnes in 1972, the bridge carried traffic on Route 123 over the river. The storm washed away the bridge, and a new one was built.

This one’s for the people who really care about local news.
