I saw this in my 2010 AT Companion:
"
Laurel Creek footbridge closure:
Located at Va. 615, 6.9 miles south of U.S. 21/52 nearBastian, Va., the A.T. footbridge across Laurel Creek is closed for repairs. Hikersmay ford the creek or follow a blue-blazed trail that leads to/from an alternate crossingon Va. 615. Signs have been posted to direct hikers onto the temporary route.Note that the formerly blue-blazed high-water route just south of Va. 615 has beenchanged to white-blazed. The formerly white-blazed route along Little Wolf Creek
has been repainted blue. This route change may be temporary."

Any update on this bridge?
