Abstract:

In June, U.S. Senator Harry Byrd snipped the ribbon to open the James River Bridge to public travel. As part of the Blue Ridge Parkway that runs through Virginia and North Carolina, the bridge is just one of the many components being completed. Completion of the Parkway is said to be done by 1966, the anniversary of the establishment of the National Park Service.
