Which stretch is affected

VDOT’s November 5 Lynchburg District alert lists Route 626, Holiday Lake Road, closed to through traffic between Route 614 at Forbes Road and Route 24 at Old Courthouse Road in Appomattox County. The agency says crews are replacing the bridge superstructure and a signed detour is in place.

Before you set out

The alert gives November 2026 as an expected completion month, not a reopening day. If your trip normally crosses that stretch, check Virginia 511 and follow signs rather than assuming the work has ended.

The alert does not say every road or destination near Holiday Lake is closed.
