Trucks – South Norfolk Jordan Bridge

Trucks

Trucks save time, fuel, and money by choosing the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge – an official Virginia truck route.

When the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge opened in 2012, trucks in excess of three tons were finally able to navigate across the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River without using a tunnel. A resolution by the Commonwealth Transportation Board and endorsement by Virginia Department of Transportation designates the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge as an official Virginia Truck Route.

Additionally, nearly 5,000 over height vehicles (in excess of 13’ 6”) are turned away from the Downtown and Midtown Tunnels each year and face severe penalties. The SNJB provides those trucks a viable travel option to reach their destinations.
