The City of Richmond will hold a public input meeting regarding the Manchester Connection to James River Project.

This project is part of several large-scale improvements that will involve closing all three bridges linking the Manchester neighborhood to downtown Richmond for an extended period over the next few years.

The closures could limit access between Manchester and downtown Richmond during the construction period.

The public input meeting will provide an opportunity for the community to learn about the upcoming bridge work.
