Bill > SJR171

This resolution, a joint resolution passed by both the Senate and the House of Delegates, commends the Boulevard Bridge, also known as the "Nickel Bridge" due to its historical five-cent toll, for its 100 years of service connecting the Richmond community across the James River. The resolution acknowledges the bridge's completion in 1925, its role in supporting neighborhood development and serving as a major route for commuters, pedestrians, and cyclists, and its distinctive deck truss structure that has been maintained and renovated for safety and aesthetics. It also recognizes the stewardship of the Richmond Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which has managed the bridge since 1969, and highlights the bridge's significance as a beloved landmark reflecting Richmond's history and interconnectedness, concluding with a directive for copies of the resolution to be presented to the Richmond Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the citizens and City of Richmond.
