The Old Mill Road Bridge Replacement corridor from east of Cooks Mill Road to east of Jean Court is a major arterial two-lane uniform roadway section. The purpose of this project, funded by the VA Department of Transportation (VDOT) State of Good Repair (SGR) program funds, is to replace structurally deficient bridge infrastructure crossing Deep Creek while making needed stormwater drainage improvements. The project limits are along Old Mill Road from 300 feet east of Cooks Mill Lane to 200 feet east of Jean Court. Roadway improvements include the widening along both sides of Old Mill Road to increase the lane width within the project area to improve safety. In addition to replacing the structurally deficient bridge, the vertical alignment will be raised to mitigate roadway flooding. Drainage ditches will be added to alleviate ponding adjacent to the roadway. On June 12, 2018, City Council amended the CIP to add this as a new project for FY 2019. VDOT grant funding totaling $1,153,000 was awarded to complete this project, beginning in FY 2019 and ending in FY 2025. (VDOT awarded $39,000 in FY 2019, $98,000 in FY 2020, and $1,016,000 in 2021). An additional $804,000 was added for FY 2024 due to price increases based on a Right-of-Way estimate that was recently completed. This project is included in the city’s 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan. As of March 19, 2024, project funded for FY2024. Design was completed in Fall 2023. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
