The 31 bridges of New River Trail State Park, Virginia’s 57-mile rails-to-trails linear park, will experience closures as a series of repairs are made over the next 18 months. While portions of the trail will be closed intermittently as work takes place, the park remains open thanks to its many access points. The first bridges affected are the Dalton and Sammy Brown near the southern end of the trail at Galax (mile marker 51), as well as the Big Reed Island Bridge near Allisonia at mile marker 13.
