Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge (Richmond)

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge carries the Pocahontas Parkway, signed as State Route 895, across the James River between the independent city of Richmond and Henrico County.

Crossing the southernmost extremity of Richmond, it provides a connection between Henrico and the southern end of Chippenham Parkway near U.S. Route 1 in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

[1] The 1,475-foot-long (450 m), high-level fixed bridge features a 672-foot (205 m) main span with 145 feet (44 m) of vertical clearance for marine traffic using Richmond's deepwater port.

A proposal for the Pocahontas Parkway and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge was submitted jointly by Fluor Daniel and Morrison-Knudsen, and an agreement was reached.

At the end of the designated period, under the agreement, the ownership of both the bridge and the parkway will be turned over to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
