BRISTOL – Due to bridge work on Interstate 81 at exit 19 in
Abingdon (Washington County), the southbound Interstate 81 on ramp
accessible from the Damascus side of the interstate will be closed two
upcoming weekends in August.
The closure will be August 2-4 and 23-25 from 7 p.m. Fridays
until 6 a.m. Mondays. The closures are necessary to ensure safety while a portion
of the current bridge deck is removed using hydrodemolition, a technique
that uses high-pressure water to remove concrete.
Motorists traveling on Route 11/58 from Damascus can use
I-81 northbound to exit 22 to access southbound I-81.
Use caution in this area and pay close attention to signs
and message boards. The project, which involves replacing the bridge
deck and adding an epoxy overlay, is scheduled to be finished March 2020.
