Bridge named after Lt. Clark

Brad Clark, who was killed last October when struck by a tractor trailer while responding to a traffic accident near that spot. The bridge is now named the Lieutenant Bradford T. Clark, Hanover Fire-EMS Memorial Bridge. The County's request to rename the bridge was approved by the General Assembly and the Commonwealth Transportation Board.
