James River Bridge US-17

It’s a bridge… Since I’m able to write this review I’m glad to report that the bridge didn’t collapse while I was on it. Also, I’m glad I didn’t crash my car while trying to take the picture I posted on Unilocal.
I will say that you’ll see some pretty views of the James River while on this trek. You may be interested in stopping to take pictures but there isn’t any shoulder room to just stop. Take the passenger seat and use a selfie stick unless you’re interested in holding up traffic!
If you travel the bridge from Newport News/​Hampton, be prepared. It gets really country on the other side!

I love a bridges & this one has special place in my heart as it connects me to my GRANNY!!!
I don’t care for the 12 hr drive from the NOLA; but once I dawn this bridge I know I’m closer to my dear heart.
The 4.5 mile long bridge crosses the James River, duh, hence the name right??? And there couldn’t be a lover sight. Quite scenic; once at the very top, one can see the expanse of the coast & most of the approaching city.
4 lanes coming & going, the dawn & dusk drives are equally breathtaking.
Often times, I’d like to stop & take pictures, but in that this is a bridge & cars are always abounding, I refrain.
