PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Richmond has received federal funding to replace the existing multimodal bridge structure over the CSX Railroad at the City’s crossroads between Broad Street and Interstate I-64/I-95, adjacent to Scott’s Addition and the Diamond District. The new bridge will replace the at-risk, over 75-year-old bridge that has exceeded its useful life. The new bridge will enhance safety for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists, and will be an asset to the City as part of Richmond’s infrastructure and community revitalization efforts.
