Broad Street Bridge

Main Street Bridge

Broad Street Bridge

Originally built in 1956, and widened in 1965, the Route 250 Broad Street Bridge is a main road in and out of Downtown Waynesboro. It carries about 10,000 vehicles daily with a high percentage of heavy trucks. According to annual maintenance inspections, the bridge was rated in serious condition, and plans were generated to replace the superstructure; including deck, beams and railing. Additionally, the two abutments and three piers will be recapped. The project is estimated to be about 3.2 million, a million of which comes from a revenue sharing matching grant through Virginia Department of Transportation with the remainder funded through the City of Waynesboro. The renovation will begin February 2013, and the completion of the project is expected to be November 2013.

The rehabilitation of Broad Street Bridge will include:
> Removal of deck
> Removal of steel
> Repairs to abutments and piers
> Replacement of steel and decking
> Erect current VDOT standard guardrail

Traffic Impact

Construction work will begin February 19, 2013. All vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be detoured to the Route 340 Main Street Bridge until construction is complete, expected to be in November 2013.
