It’s still incomplete. But in a few months, the metal beams these men are sitting on will become a bridge that will allow Richmonders to cross the James River on bike or foot. It will be the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge, named for a respected, but now deceased city planner. The workers are from Winchester-based Howard Shockey & Sons Inc., which is building the span that is to open in August. The pedestrian bridge will link Brown’s Island in Downtown to a recreation area on the south side of the river. Estimated cost: $11.5 million, including $9 million in city funds and $2.5 million in state funds. The bridge, which sits above the remnants of a former power company dam, is part of the city’s effort to make the riverfront more accessible.
