CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va (WVIR) – The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is seeking funding to fix the traffic flow on Free Bridge during rush hour. Some drivers say the area has a major problem with traffic jams during rush hours.

MPO is currently juggling between a couple different plans on how to improve the bridge. One option includes expanding the U.S. Route 250 intersection at High Street and Route 20. Another plan includes building an entirely new bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the Rivanna River
