Westham Bridge, Road bridge in Virginia, United States
The Westham Bridge crossed the James River between Henrico County and Chesterfield County, connecting the communities on both sides of the waterway.
Constructed in 1911, the bridge operated as a toll structure under the management of the Southampton Bridge Corporation until its closure in 1950.
The bridge drew its name from the nearby Westham Station of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, which was later relocated to a Richmond city park.
The structure included planned tracks for a streetcar line to Bon Air, though the rail system never extended beyond the initial groundwork preparations.
After the bridge closed, the Huguenot Memorial Bridge replaced it, but remnants of the original abutments remain visible at both ends of the former crossing.
