James River Bridge
I took this poor picture of the South Interstate 295 Bridge over the James River near Richmond Virginia on my way home from Williamsburg, Virginia. This was taken on June 1, 2001 with my old Polaroid camera. It was also taken on a tour bus.
This bridge is one of the most unusual bridges east of the Mississippi River. I think it was a suspension bridge.

It is a suspension bridge; that's a cool picture.
It actually is a cable stayed bridge, which can be considered a type of suspension bridge.
In normal suspension bridges, the roadway hanged from cables that attach to the large cables that connect from the tower to tower and from the towers to the anchor posts.
In cable stayed bridges, roadway is attached by cables directly to the towers.
Look at Nova Online
That bridge is pretty much identical to the DE Highway 1 bridge over the Delaware-Chesapeake Canal in the Odessa & Smyrna area.
