Fairfax administrator: Wooster Bridge repair may finish this week; police report semi-truck tore down lines, issued detour citations
Summary
Administrator said Wooster Bridge repair work by Pruce may finish this week but permanent repair requiring creek access is expected in drier season around September. Police reported a semi-truck pulled down power lines; Duke restored power and officers issued citations for drivers ignoring the closed road.
In the administrator’s report at the March 15 council meeting, staff said contractor Pruce is expected to complete Wooster Bridge repair work sometime this week but cautioned that rain could delay final work. The administrator said a permanent concrete wall at the creek is planned for the drier season around September and that temporary closures may be required then.
In the police chief’s report, officers responded to a semi-truck that used an alternate route, tore down power lines to multiple homes and caused significant inconvenience; Duke Energy restored power quickly. The police chief said the driver was cited and that officers also issued citations to motorists who ignored the road-closure detour. The chief noted as a positive that there were "no car break ins over the weekend" and encouraged residents to lock vehicles.
Why this matters: the bridge repair and potential future closures affect local traffic patterns and require homeowner awareness; the citations demonstrate enforcement of the closure for public safety.
