A final reminder that the Virginia Department of Transportation is unveiling the brand-new Lee Street Bridge today in Broadway.

State transportation officials will join Town of Broadway and Rockingham County representatives for a ribbon-cutting ceremony this afternoon at 1:30.

The new bridge replaces a structure that had stood over Linville Creek since 1951. While the length is the same, the bridge is seven feet wider than its predecessor, and includes sidewalks.

The new infrastructure will officially open for use on Thursday.
