Located on Battlefield Boulevard in Great Bridge this is just one of the many bridges that cross the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. It is a Twin bascule span, five lane bridge operated by the City of Chesapeake. It was constructed in 2004 and carries about 35,000 cars across it on a daily basis.

I was interested in the name of the road that the bridge was built on so I did some research and found that the Battle of Great Bridge was fought December 9, 1775, in the area of Great Bridge, Virginia, during the American Revolutionary War. The victory by the Continental Army was responsible for removing Lord Dunmore and any other vestige of English Government for the Colony of Virginia during the early days of the Revolution. Shortly thereafter, Norfolk, was captured and destroyed, cementing Continental hold on Virginia.
