Nicknamed “Urbanna bridge,” the Urbanna Road span over Urbanna Creek is officially named “Beryl R. Newman Memorial Bridge.” It recently received an additional sign, which was installed by the Virginia Department of Transportation, that speaks to why the bridge is named for Newman.
At an Urbanna Town Council meeting earlier this year, the question of who Newman was came up, which brought attention to the fact more needed to be said about Newman.
