Lesner Bridge, Road bridge in Virginia Beach, United States.
The Lesner Bridge spans 1,575 feet across Lynnhaven Inlet, featuring twin structures for eastbound and westbound traffic with ten spans each.
The initial drawbridge from 1928 was replaced in 1958 by eastbound lanes, followed by westbound lanes construction in 1967.
The bridge bears the name of John A. Lesner, a Democratic Virginia State Senator who served Norfolk County and Norfolk City from 1908.
The structure includes dedicated 10-foot wide paths for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting the bay area to Virginia Beach shore via Shore Drive.
LED illumination systems transform the bridge at night while a 36-foot sculpture by Donald Lipski marks the pedestrian overlook.
