Recently Completed: Route 220 Back Creek Bridge Replacement - Roanoke County

This project involved replacing the Route 220 bridge over Back Creek in Roanoke County.  

The bridge is located about 0.2 miles south of Route 220’s intersection with Route 657 (Crowell Gap Road) and approximately six miles north of Boones Mill.

The old four-lane bridge was built in 1947 and had minimal shoulder width.  The new bridge is wider with a six-foot inside shoulder and a 10-foot outside shoulder.  The project also included earthwork that improved the sight distance at Route 220’s intersection with Crowell Gap Road.
