ROCKY RUN ROAD AT ROCKY PEN RUN RESERVOIR CLOSES TODAY

Stafford, Va. – Stafford County officials remind the public that the portion of Rocky Run Road located at the Rocky Pen Run Reservoir is closed as of today. There are signs in place at Rocky Run Road warning of the closure. Motorists are advised to avoid the area as water levels will begin to rise from the roadbed to the tree line. The area is not safe for motorists.

The Rocky Pen Run Reservoir is the largest public works project in Stafford’s History. Rocky Pen Run will join Abel Lake and Smith Lake in supplying water to County customers. The new reservoir will draw water from the Rappahannock River, doubling the safe yield capacity of the water supply system from what exists today.
