Demolition, site work, paving and new construction of a bridge / tunnel in Lexington, Virginia. Design plans call for the demolition of a bridge / tunnel; for the construction of a bridge / tunnel; for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

This project aims to replace an aging bridge over Woods Creek on Lime Kiln Road in the City of Lexington, between Catalpa Place and McLaughlin Street. The existing superstructure will be replaced, and the bridge will be widened to the upstream side without adding vehicular capacity. The superstructure includes the bridge deck, railings, and other components on the piers and abutments. During construction, the road will be closed to vehicular traffic, and a detour will be placed. However, the bridge will be constructed in stages for uninterrupted pedestrian traffic. The intent is to minimize the impact on Lime Kiln Bridge Park, Chessie Nature Trail, and Woods Creek Trail. Project management, and Construction Contract are to be Administered by VDOT under the State of Good Repair Program Benefits.
