Bridge work may begin in ’28, eight years earlier than previously planned
Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Tuesday, April 15, announced construction to replace the Robert O. Norris Jr. Memorial Bridge over the Rappahannock River between the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck will begin in 2028, eight years ahead of schedule.
Using monies made available through the Commonwealth Transportation Special Structures Program Revenue Bond Act of 2025, construction to build a modern bridge, with substantially wider travel lanes, fully functional shoulders and significantly higher guardrails, will start eight years ahead of the planned 2036 groundbreaking.
