Virginia Route 460 Connector Phase I
VDOT’s design-build contract for Route 460 Connector Phase I in Buchanan County was awarded to Bizzack Construction, LLC., Lexington, Ky., in August 2009. Construction began in the spring of 2011. C J Mahan, the bridge subcontractor, retained Wilson & Associates to provide complete construction engineering and surveying services for the two cast-in-place segmental arch bridges.
