Update as of December 27, 2018: This project has been completed.
Bridge Delays in Shenandoah: Update as of October 31,2018:
Drivers can expect delays on the Route 602 Bridge (William Milnes, Jr. Bridge) starting Monday, November 5, 2018, as the crew removes the temporary stoplights and insert flag men at each end of the project, and continue their work to restore the bridge.
The bridge will NOT be closing for the duration of the project, as we previously thought.
The width restriction for the bridge will be 10'.
Please plan accordingly and expect delays between now and the tentative end date of November 30, 2018 (this is subject to change if inclement weather or other issues arise.)
We will continue to do our best to keep everyone up to date on the status of this project.
Sarah Dean, Town Clerk, Town of Shenandoah

Traffic Alert- Shenandoah River Bridge Route 602 (East Point Road) Beginning Monday April 23, 2018, flaggers will control traffic during daylight hours as contractors mobilize equipment and install temporary traffic signals on both sides of the bridge. The signals will control traffic 24/7 beginning in early May 2018. During Construction This maintenance work will require crews to be on the bridge decks during the repairs. Therefore, single-lane closures will be required and the traveling public can expect delays during work hours. Traffic signals on both sides of the bridge will be in operation 24/7, except for rare occasions when flagging crews control traffic. Vehicles using the bridge during this project will be restricted to 10 feet in width. During the later stages of this rehabilitation (September-November 2018), Route 602 will be closed to all traffic (including pedestrians and bicycles) during overnight hours and weekends. A detour route will be posted during these times.
Please assist us in getting this notice out to those in adjacent Towns of Stanley, Luray, and Elkton. Traffic alerts can also be found on the VDOT website under Travel Center, Travel advisories and lane closures.

It is our privilege to announce that Page County WILL be the home to Cooters Place! Just confirmed. We thank everyone for the mass outreach from our community! The support has been overwhelming and a proud example of what we can accomplish in Page County when we work together! Welcome Cooters! Will be located at the former Outlanders/EJs on 211 West, Luray. News release and picture from Page County Economic Development & Tourism Facebook Page.
The below announcement was posted on Ben Jones aka Cooter Facebook page
COOTER’S IN THE COUNTRY TO MOVE OVER THE MOUNTAIN€ TO LURAY, VIRGINIA
Hey Y’all,
Alma and I are delighted to announce that our Cooter’s in the Country store in Sperryville,
Virginia is moving west over the Blue Ridge Mountains to Luray, Virginia in neighboring
Page County. Our parking problems have created an untenable situation at our current
location but we have found a wonderful new location just above the Shenandoah River
about four miles west of the famous Luray Caverns. We’ll still be on Highway 211, but
we’ll be only about ten minutes from Interstate 81, a major north/south highway.
The building is the former home of Outlanders Motorcycles, and it is an ideal setting for
what we want to create. There is a very large space for our Dukes Museum, room to
do live music events, a restaurant area, and acres of parking areas. It sits in the beautiful
Shenandoah Valley between the Blue Ridge and the Massanutten Mountain. It’s in one
of the prettiest spots in the United States.
It is truly a perfect spot to build what we hope is a lasting tribute to The Dukes of Hazzard
and to the traditional American values which the show embodies. We have always
been treated like gold by the folks in Page County, and the County leadership reached
out to us, helped us immensely, and has made us feel extremely welcome.
We sure hope that we will see you in Sperryville before we close that store on October 31st.
(And don’t forget our concert with Cooter’s Garage Band on October 22nd to raise money for the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department.) On November 1st, we’ll begin our move over
the mountain.
Thanks to all of y’all who have been so supportive for so many years. You make us all proud to be from Hazzard County!
Best Wishes,
Ben aka Cooter and Miss Alma
