Tag: Mayo’s Bridge (Richmond VA)

Wikipedia says: Mayo’s Bridge is located in Richmond, Virginia.

The bridge is actually in two sections, separated near the middle by Mayo’s Island. The current structure was built in 1913 and accommodated heavy streetcar traffic. It is Richmond’s oldest highway bridge across the James River.

It was built on the site of the city’s first bridge completed in 1788 by John Mayo Jr., the grandson of the man who first laid out Richmond’s grid pattern.
