Town of Abingdon—Halloween Observance is still October 31st

Town of Abingdon—Halloween Observance is still October 31^st

The Town of Abingdon has received many inquiries about the observance of Halloween. The Town of Abingdon is not rescheduling trick-or-treat visits for another day, and would only do so under extreme circumstances when there is a great risk to public safety. In addition, there are no official Halloween events hosted by the Town of Abingdon on October 31^st, so there is nothing to reschedule. With rain in the forecast, we encourage parents to plan accordingly and have a happy and safe Halloween.

Traffic Advisory- Cook Street/Green Spring Road Opening

Traffic Advisory:

With the opening of Food City in The Meadows Shopping Center, regular commuters on the Cook Street extension should be aware of the new traffic pattern. Remember Cook Street at the Green Spring Road intersection is not regulated by traffic signals or signs.  Frequent users of Green Spring Road have grown accustomed to turning on to Cook Street or turning from Cook Street on to Green Spring, without slowing for oncoming traffic because the road into the shopping center was blocked for construction. 

AS OF TODAY Cook Street is fully open.  This means that traffic entering Cook from Green Spring, or traffic turning left from Cook on to Green Spring, must yield the right of way to traffic exiting the shopping center. 

Please slow down and use caution at the newly opened intersection.

INTERSTATE 81 EXIT 19 NORTHBOUND LANE, ON RAMP CLOSED TWO WEEKENDS IN OCTOBER DUE TO BRIDGE WORK

News Release

INTERSTATE 81 EXIT 19 NORTHBOUND LANE, ON RAMP CLOSED TWO WEEKENDS IN OCTOBER DUE TO BRIDGE WORK
First weekend scheduled for October 11-14

BRISTOL – Due to bridge work on Interstate 81 northbound at exit 19 in Abingdon (Washington County), there will be a northbound Interstate 81 lane closure and northbound on ramp closure this weekend and the following weekend (weather permitting).

The closure this weekend will begin at 7 p.m. Friday October 11 and will remain in place until 6 a.m. Monday (October 14). Weather permitting, the second closure will occur the weekend of October 18-21.

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 from Abingdon can access I-81 northbound by following Route 11 to exit 22. Northbound access from the Damascus side of the interstate will not be impacted.

Use caution in this area and pay close attention to signs and message boards. The project, which involves patching the bridge deck and adding an epoxy overlay, is scheduled to be finished March 2020.
