The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will hold a public hearing next Monday regarding the planned replacement of the Route 636 (Goose Pond Road) bridge over Swift Run in Stanardsville. The meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to engage with VDOT engineers and project managers about the $5.8 million project.
The existing bridge, constructed in 1980, is showing signs of deterioration. The new design promises a wider and longer structure featuring pre-stressed concrete slabs, aimed at improving safety and durability.
The hearing is scheduled for Monday, February 10, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Greene County Library located at 222 Main Street, Suite 101 in Stanardsville. Attendees can expect an open house-style format where they can ask questions and learn more about the project's specifics.

Additionally, local updates on conditions within VDOT’s Culpeper District are available via their X.com/VaDOTCulp account and Facebook page.
