Many times, I’ve written about the James River Bridge (or JRB, for short), that we travel across whenever we go to the “big city”.
The bridge is a little over four miles long, and when it opened to traffic in 1928, it was the longest bridge in the world. As the name suggests, it crosses the James River. In the 1970’s, a new bridge replaced the original one.
Motor Man and I ran an errand in the big city, Newport News, yesterday morning, and I took a series of photos from the bridge. The trees you see to the far right are in our county, Isle of Wight.
In the background of the next picture are cranes at the Virginia Port Authority in Norfolk. To the left is Newport News Shipbuilding, and in the foreground is one of the many workboats out in the river that morning.
This picture was taken just before we reached the other side of the bridge, and that’s just a small portion of the shipyard.
It was a pretty morning for errands.

Very pretty Dianna! You have a lovely area to snap photos!! The only way to do errands.. 🙂
YOur pictures are proof that it was a lovely morning! They’re great…y’all sure got an early start.
I never tire of the views from the JRB. The shipyard is my favorite and especially at night.
Beautiful and seeing the workboats too. We enjoy that early morning ride too. I’m always glad to ride and not drive so I don’t miss anything.
Beautiful…….looks COLD!

The view from the James River Bridge has never been so pretty. Good job. Enjoy the snow.
I’m glad to be on this side of the bridge again!
