Detours will be in place on Uzzell Church Road starting July 24 as Virginia Department of Transportation crews replace the bridge over Champion Swamp.
The road, also known as Route 692, will be closed to through traffic between Bob White Road (Route 652) and Carroll Bridge Road (Route 654) with signed detours in place. Access to existing private property and businesses will be maintained at all times.
The work will include demolishing the existing Champion Swamp bridge and constructing a new, two-lane, single-span, multi-beam girder bridge. The work is expected to be complete by summer 2024.
Motorists traveling from Carroll Bridge Road toward Bob White Road are to use the following detour:
- Turn left onto Scotts Factory Road (Route 620)
- Turn left onto Courthouse Highway (Route 258)
- Turn left onto Bob White Road (Route 654)

VDOT awarded the $1.94 million bridge rebuilding contract to Bryant Structures Inc. in May.
