South Fork Bridge 1 project completes decades long build
The 2017 top stories highlight a Windsor County area grappling with tragedy and renewal. Two murders over one weekend in March and the opioid crisis are noted alongside renovations on East Main Street and a new VFW Post 1860 building after the old one burned. Officials debate the Afton Inn vacancy and housing issues while celebrating key civic projects. The South Fork Bridge project, begun in 1940 as a $3.1 million effort, neared completion with last year’s opening and 2017 adding the final lanes and Virginia’s first quadrant interchange at Winchester and Strasburg roads, reducing long traffic backups.
