Virginia’s Department of Transportation (VDOT) has announced new dates for the closure of the Benjamin Harrison Bridge connecting Charles City and Prince George County to replace the bridge’s auxiliary drive.

The bridge’s first closing will be Sept. 8, 7 a.m. to Sept. 12, 8 a.m. and once again will close Sept. 22, 7 a.m. to Sept. 26, 8 a.m.

Motorists are advised to take Route 5 westbound from Charles City to Interstate 295 southbound as an alternative route. Drivers may exit onto Route 10 eastbound (exit 13A) to return to Prince George. Travelers may also use the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry in James City County as another route.
