Black Oak Rd. Bridge Closed in Purcellville starting Jan. 31

The Black Oak Road (Route 735) bridge over a tributary of Beaverdam Creek will close indefinitely at 8 a.m. Friday, Jan. 31 due to the results of the latest safety inspection, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Those needing to reach properties along Black Oak Road will continue to have access, but traffic will not be able to go beyond the bridge in either direction.
