Bridge. This main connection between Stafford County and the city of Fredericksburg in Virginia carries approximately 16,000 vehicles a day. The $17.9 million project began in May after The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) awarded the contract to Joseph B. Fay

The Chatham Bridge is a 75-ft. long structure that will be widened to provide four 10-ft. wide travel lanes and a barrier-separated 10-ft. wide shared use path on the downstream side. see CHATHAM page 40
