The City of Richmond is inviting residents to weigh in on plans to replace the Hull Street bridge over the Manchester Canal, with a public meeting scheduled for Aug. 6 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Main Street Station.

The bridge replacement project aims to modernize critical infrastructure while maintaining connectivity between the Manchester and South Richmond communities. City officials say the aging bridge requires replacement to ensure public safety and accommodate future traffic needs.

“This project is critical for ensuring safe, modern infrastructure while preserving connectivity for the Manchester and South Richmond communities,” according to the city’s announcement.

At the meeting, residents will have the opportunity to review proposed plans and design options, speak directly with the project manager and consulting team, and provide feedback that could influence the final design.

The meeting will be held at Main Street Station, located at 1500 East Main Street. Those unable to attend the meeting at Main Street Station, 1500 E. Main St.,can still submit comments through Aug.14 by emailing Thomas Westbrook at Thomas.Westbrook@rva.gov or mailing them to Thomas Westbrook, 900 E. Broad St., 6th Floor, Richmond, VA 23219. Comments should include “UPC 113920 – Hull Street over Manchester Canal Bridge Project” in the subject line.
