Significance: Halfway Creek Bridge is the longest structure located along the Colonial Parkway, measuring 850'. The reinforced concrete slab bridge was completed in December 1942, and marked the first extension of the parkway south of Williamsburg toward Jamestown island. Since the roadway was not completed to Jamestown until the 1950s, Halfway Creek Bridge was an isolated structure with no approach road for thirteen years.
