Portion of Concord Turnpike to Remain Closed During Private Waterline Repairs

LYNCHBURG, Va. — A section of Concord Turnpike between Garnet Street and Winston Ridge Road will remain closed to through traffic until further notice as CertainTeed continues repairs to a broken private waterline serving its facility at 1801 Concord Turnpike.
