North Landing Bridge closing for repairs - WTKR

The North Landing Bridge, built in 1951 and located on the Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, borders, will close for repairs for approximately two months beginning in mid-November. While the bridge is closed, travelers headed south in Virginia Beach can detour around the bridge by using Indian River Road and the detour should be followed in reverse ...

Is the bridge going to be untravelable for that long?

[Renee]

I hate going all the way around, gas ain't cheap!

I think it is great.

It will keep the Virginia Beach trash out of that part of the city for 2 months

Is there another way to go, other than elbow road? Isn't there a back way going through Pungo? I'm going from Dam Neck Base to Centerville/Mount Pleasant.

Take Princess Ann Rd
Turn Right on Pungo Ferry Road.(NOTE: Not Old Pungo Ferry Rd which is the first one you come op on)
Turn Right on Backwater Rd
Turn Left on Land of Promise Rd follow out to Centerville Turnpike
Turn Right for Etheridge Manor / Fentress /Mt Pleasant Rd (a few miles up) or Left for Hickory.
