NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — The James River Bridge, which connects Newport News and Isle of Wight County, is now open.
VDOT says they replaced the wire ropes - which are used to open the bridge - ahead of schedule.
The wire rope replacements are part of a project that VDOT says is needed to ensure the JRB operates in good condition.
As work on the project continues, VDOT says this week, single-lane closures, brief stops and test lifts at the JRB are possible.
