The new Toms Creek Bridge opened
for the first time yesterday.

It's part of a new bypass over
Route 460.

You can reach the bridge from the
east bound lanes, but it will be a few
more weeks before west-bound traffic on
Route 460 will be able to use the
interchange.

The project is about half a
million dollars under budget and two
weeks ahead of schedule.

Under a new partnership with

V-DOT, town employees handled the
entire construction project.

The owners, Jim and Jan Politis,
Poe-lit-is have been running the store
for 12 years, and they are ready to
retire from it.

They'll continue working on their
bison farm, selling buffalo meat and

Politis hopes someone will come
forward and buy the restaurant.

If there are no takers, Brush
