The Hunter Mill Road bridge over Colvin Run will be closed until around 3 p.m. today (Monday) after an unknown driver damaged barriers on the bridge.
According to the Virginia Department of Transportation, a driver struck the barriers on the bridge, causing drain and gravel to wash around the bridge.
Hunter Mill Road had been closed between Chamberlain Drive and Mount Sunapee Road from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. today.
“To the striking driver, enjoy your new orange paint,” VDOT tweeted today.
Folks, we need to close Hunter Mill bridge today until about 3PM. Crews returned to lay asphalt & found someone had hit them, draining the water & washing the gravel fill from around the bridge. Crews need to redo work now. To the striking driver: enjoy your new orange paint. pic.twitter.com/PjASIkbfA0
