The West Virginia Department of Highways announced Monday in a news release that the bridge at the end of County Route 5/11 (WV 5) located in Burnsville by the old I-79 Motel will be temporarily closed for approximately 30 days beginning on Monday, July 29, to replace bridge.
Temporary traffic control will be installed, and County Route 5/10 (Circle Drive) will be utilized as the detour. The detour will run from the County Route 5/10 (Circle Drive) and County Route 5/11 (WV 5) intersection in Burnsville and run approximately one mile along Circle Drive to the WV Route 5 and CR 5/10 (Circle Drive) intersection. West Virginia Division of Highways thank you for understanding and supporting us with this temporary closure.
Those seeking access to the Burnsville Lake Marina and recreational area will have to utilize the alternative route.
