The James River Bridge is a four-lane divided highway lift bridge across the James River in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Owned and operated by the Virginia Department of Transportation, it carries U.S. Route 17 (US 17), US 258, and State Route 32 across the river near its mouth at Hampton Roads. The bridge connects Newport News on the Virginia Peninsula with Isle of Wight County in the South Hampton Roads region, and is the easternmost such crossing without a tunnel component.
When completed in 1928, the 4.5-mile (7 km) bridge was the longest bridge in the world over water.[3] The original two-lane bridge was replaced from 1975 to 1982 with a wider four-lane bridge that could handle increased traffic volumes. In 2005, the bridge carried an annual average daily traffic of about 30,000 vehicles per day.

However most of the rest of the building was designed by Sir William Bruce, and dates to the 1670s.

James Baines, a state of the art clipper passenger ship, launched from the East Boston shipyard of the famous ship builder Donald McKay in 1854. This is my restoration and colorization of Australian photographer and maritime painter Allan C. Green´s (1878-1954) photo of his own painting. The original image is in the Victoria State Library archive. The 81 m (LOA) James Baines was a very fast ship - her top speed, 21 kn (39 km/h) was recorded on June 17, 1856.

James City, Virginia, renamed Leon, was the site of a Civil War battle in October 1863. It was one of the the few battles where the village inhabitants were caught between the two opposing North and South armies. This abandoned farm property is now being cleaned up as a historic marker, but funding is problematic. The property has multiple buildings including what was once a large home.
