Robert O. Norris Bridge, Road bridge in Virginia, United States
The Robert O. Norris Bridge extends 11,237 feet across the Rappahannock River, connecting Middlesex County to Lancaster County with two 11-foot travel lanes.
The bridge opened in 1957 to replace a ferry service, marking a shift in transportation methods between the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck regions.
The structure represents a vital link between communities, enabling daily connections for residents, workers, and visitors traveling between Virginia's peninsular regions.
The bridge carries State Route 3 traffic with an average of 6,900 vehicles daily, maintaining a clearance of 110 feet above the water for maritime passage.
Four construction workers died during the building process, and the bridge requires specific monitoring due to its fracture-critical engineering designation.
