Judith Stewart Dresser Bridge, Road bridge in James City County, Virginia
The Judith Stewart Dresser Bridge spans over the Chickahominy River, connecting Charles City County and James City County through State Route 5.
The bridge, opened in January 2009, replaced a deteriorating 70-year-old swing-span structure that had operated since 1939 with frequent mechanical problems.
The bridge received its name in recognition of Judith Stewart Dresser, who dedicated her efforts to historical preservation in the local region until 2003.
Rising 52 feet above water level, the fixed-span bridge eliminates previous height restrictions and accommodates two traffic lanes with additional shoulders.
The construction project finished six months ahead of schedule in 2009, with a total investment of 33.6 million dollars for the infrastructure.
