Route 604 in Page County closing April 1 for bridge replacement

STAUNTON — Part of Route 604 (Loop Road) in Page County is scheduled to close for about two months beginning Monday, April 1. This closure affects the western leg of Route 604, between the intersections with Route 609 (Naked Creek Road) and Route 750 (Kemble Spring Lane). It allows the Virginia Department of Transportation to replace a nearly 70-year-old bridge over Naked Creek at the Page-Rockingham county line.

During construction, detour signs will direct motorists to use the eastern leg of Route 604 between Routes 609 and 750. Local traffic will have access to properties between the work zone and Route 750.

VDOT crews will replace the single-lane truss bridge over Naked Creek with a new single-lane bridge of similar design. Route 604 is scheduled to reopen on or about Friday, June 7. All work is weather permitting.
