The Robert Opie Norris Jr. Bridge is a truss bridge that spans the Rappahannock River in Virginia, United States and serves as the crossing for State Route 3 over the river between Grey's Point on the Middlesex County side and the town of White Stone in Lancaster County.
The span was opened on August 30, 1957, and replaced a ferry service directly West of where the current bridge is located.
Prior to July 2021, Dominion Virginia Power operated a 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line that was attached to the East side of the bridge.
[5][6] This transmission line replacement was identified by Dominion Power as a needed project in order to remove risk of violating mandated NERC standards.
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) later ordered Dominion Power to route the new transmission line underwater.
