FREDERICKSBURG – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close Route 644 (Rock Hill Church Road) in Stafford County on Monday, June 1 to replace the bridge over Aquia Creek.
Drivers are currently crossing a temporary, single-lane bridge over Aquia Creek that was installed in fall 2020 after a bridge inspection found deterioration in the 50-year-old bridge’s major elements. Installing a temporary bridge allowed the road to remain open while the $6.4 million project was funded and designed.
With the current crossing, a temporary traffic signal was also installed to alternate one-way traffic over Aquia Creek. The temporary bridge carries vehicles up to 40 tons, including emergency vehicles and school buses.
The new two-lane bridge will be nearly double the size of the existing structure. The new bridge will have two 11-foot travel lanes with 6-foot paved shoulders on both sides and higher rails.
The new structure will be able to carry vehicles of all legal loads.
Starting June 1 through June 2027, Rock Hill Church Road will be closed to through traffic between Dunbar Drive and Van Horn Lane with a detour in place.
Detour signs will be posted to direct drivers to the following routes:
- Route 610 (Garrisonville Road)
- Route 643 (Joshua Road)
- Route 627 (Mountain View Road)

Message boards will be posted to give drivers advance notice to the long-term road closure.
Around 1,600 vehicles a day travel on Rock Hill Church Road, according to the latest VDOT traffic count.
The project contractor is WG Construction Co., Inc. of Manassas.
