VDOT reports paving, mowing and long bridge closure in King and Queen County
Summary
VDOT told the board paving on Route 621 is underway, mowing of primary roads is complete, storm debris removal is ongoing, and the bridge on Route 628 (Spring Cottage Road) is likely to remain closed for about 24 months; the agency also reviewed no-parking signage on a local stretch known as Devils Three Jump Road.
Lee McKnight of the Virginia Department of Transportation told the King and Queen County Board on July 10 that paving on Route 621 is in progress and that mowing on primary roads is complete with secondary-road mowing nearly finished. VDOT crews have been removing debris from recent storms.
McKnight said the bridge on Route 628 (Spring Cottage Road) remains closed and is expected to stay closed for approximately 24 months while repairs or replacement proceed. He also reported a review of no‑parking signage on Route 614 (Devils Three Jump Road) and noted VDOT would continue to coordinate with the Sheriff’s Office and residents on signage and enforcement. A board member requested pothole repairs at the intersection of Roundabout Route and Newtown Road.
The update did not include a timetable for reopening the Route 628 bridge beyond the 24‑month estimate or a cost estimate for repairs; those items were not specified in the presentation.
