In Design: Route 29 Northbound over Cub Run Bridge Rehabilitation in Fairfax County

This project will rehabilitate the northbound Route 29 (Lee Highway) bridge over Cub Run. The bridge was originally built in 1954.

The planned improvements include:

• Replacing the concrete deck and bridge rails
• Installing steel beams
• Adding a walkway with barrier and connecting the walkway to the existing sidewalk just north of the bridge
• Rebuilding the concrete pedestals
• Replacing the bridge bearings
• Repairing cracks

The bridge averages 13,000 vehicles a day; Route 29 averages 26,000 combined northbound and southbound vehicles a day at Cub Run.

Estimated Costs
Preliminary Engineering - $700,000
Construction - $3.5 million
Total - $4.2 million

The project is financed with state and federal State of Good Repair funding used for bridges.
