Route 621 (Bruington Road) in King and Queen County will close at the bridge over Dogwood Fork for approximately two months for a bridge maintenance project.
Bruington Road will close to through traffic on Wednesday, Nov. 1. Detour signs will guide motorists along the recommended route: Route 14 (The Trail) to Route 360 (Richmond-Tappahannock Highway). The detour is approximately 10 miles. Bruington Road is anticipated to reopen in late December.
