CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – The Old Ivy Road bridge was damaged when it was struck by a commercial truck on Monday, causing a more than 3-hour closure of the U.S. 29/250 Bypass and Old Ivy Road.

It was just past noon when the truck clipped the bridge and caused extensive damage to a support beam.

Traffic had to be rerouted while crews from VDOT and the contractor working to replace the bridge made immediate, temporary repairs.
