Lunch & Learn: A Vital Connection – the James River Bridge at Isle of Wight County Museum (Smithfield)
November 17 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Opened November 17, 1928, the James River Bridge has linked Warwick County/Newport News to Isle of Wight County for 98 years. This look-back examines life before the bridge when colonial ferries and steamers served this purpose. The historical journey continues with the dedication of the original crossing which was hailed as the world’s longest bridge over water and the construction of the current structure. It further details the story of how the bridge received its official name.
