I drove across the old James River Bridge (built in the late 30's/early 40's) back in the early 80's, when it was a 2 lane drawbridge. A small part of that bridge still exists, as a fishing pier, at the north end of this newer bridge.

Scared, I can see how. There’s nothing but water and sky for a long time crossing it. And just how wide is that river? It actually took over five minutes to cross it!

I was stationed over there on 32nd Street in the early 90s when i was on The USS Enterprise and we were in overhaul/ Drydock,, i took the James River quite a few times to go over to Suffolk .

david maclean ...used to commute on this thing every morning from Portsmouth to Newport News. My brother wrecked on the bridge at night in a Rambler and almost went over the side. Being a member of the same dumb ass bloodline and being a 19 year old daredevil I once crossed it doing 105 mph in a souped up 1970 Pontiac Catalina that I converted into a street racer. Ahh the stupidity of youth!! I laugh and sweat at the same time now whenever I'm reminded of it! Brooks & Dunn's Red Dirt Road didn't have nothing on me!!

Hi Randy, thanks for this interesting information I do hope you and your brother are OK. Touring Virgina in September doubt I would reach 60mph.

david maclean ...don't forget to go to the fishing pier. It was originally the old James River bridge but they sunk half of it and made it a fishing spot when the new bridge was completed. Trout...croakers...crabs...and they almost jump in your net. The scenery of the Chesapeake Bay ain't bad either! Be safe and have a great time!!

Looks like a bridge with a watch tower on top but I wouldn’t want to be up there! I hate heights!!

Just the thought of how the hell were the natives able to canoe across that wide, tidal and probably very deep river. On a canoe, it must have taken at least a week.
