Construction Update as of April 30, 2026: Phase 2 of the Bluemont Junction Trail Milling and Repaving project is nearing completion and is expected to be done by mid-May (weather permitting). This project improves the Bluemont Junction and Four Mile Run Trails as well as key connection points.
The remaining work includes the welding and painting of Bluemont Junction Trail Bridge #2, which will require the bridge to be closed to the public. While community members can expect periodic closures and detour signage, the bridge will be open after work hours and on weekends. The bridge will also be open all day on May 6 for National Bike & Roll to School Day.
While this work continues, trail segments may be blocked-off with signage. Please refer to the project webpage for the latest updates as work may be done earlier. We will notify the community when work is complete.
