Robert E. Lee Memorial Bridge, Road bridge in Richmond, Virginia.
The bridge spans across the James River with six lanes of traffic, carrying U.S. Route 1 and U.S. Route 301 at the fall line.
Initially constructed in 1934 as a four-lane toll facility, the structure underwent complete rebuilding during the 1980s, finishing in 1989.
The bridge reflects changes in Richmond's social perspectives, with discussions in 2020 to return its name to the original James River Bridge designation.
The current structure provides toll-free passage with three lanes in each direction, connecting to South 2nd Street via dedicated ramps.
A pedestrian footbridge extends beneath the road deck from Tredegar Street to Belle Isle, offering access to the island in the James River.
