Route 895 Construction - June 2002 - Photos 1-4

Here are 4 photos of Route 895, taken on June 22, 2002.


Above, traveling on the Route 895 eastbound roadway. This is the beginning of Route 895, and VA-150 Chippenham Parkway branches off to the right as the two lane roadway which connects with the ramps to I-95 northbound and I-95 southbound. The Route 895 James River Bridge begins just ahead. The westbound bridge is still under construction as I detailed in my main Route 895 article. The elevated ramp ahead is Ramp G, the ramp from westbound Route 895 to southbound I-95, also not yet open to traffic.

To the left is the construction of the westbound bridge's sidespan of the main span which is being constructed by the cast-in-place balanced cantilever segmental construction method. The blue steel structure is the form traveler used to cast each reinforced concrete 15-foot-long bridge segment.
