Crews to replace Piney River bridge

Drivers who use the Route 827 bridge to cross the Piney River at the Amherst-Nelson county line will need to plan for delays beginning Tuesday.

Crews this week will begin replacing the bridge, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

For one day, Oct. 30, the bridge will be closed to traffic beginning at 8 a.m.
Signs and traffic devices will alert motorists about the work.

The project is expected to last through mid-November.
