BENJAMIN HARRISON BRIDGE, NOW A ROCK STAR 

Last week there was a mysterious announcement by the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Prince George County Supervisors that there would be delays on the Benjamin Harrison Bridge on Wednesday the 18th due to a special event or something like that.  On Thursday, the news broke that a rock video had been filmed at or on the Bridge and that the vague announcement about delays was to prevent crowds gathering once they found out what was happening.  So now our bridge will be famous!
