Colonial Parkway

Colonial Parkway is a 23-mile (37 km) scenic parkway linking the three points of Virginia's Historic Triangle, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. It is part of the National Park Service's Colonial National Historical Park.
With portions built between 1930 and 1957, the Colonial Parkway links the three communities via a roadway carefully shielded from views of commercial development; a major effort has also been made to keep traffic signs and other modern roadside items to a minimum, and make them unobtrusive where unavoidable. There are often views of wildlife and waterfowl in addition to the river panoramas near each end.
The roadway, a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road (one of only 27 in the U.S.), is free of semitrucks and is a popular (but ''not'' the quickest) way to move by motor vehicle between the three points, especially for tourists. Near the James River and York River ends of the parkway, there are several pull-offs. It is toll-free, and has speed limits of around 45 to 55 mph.
== Bridges and Interchanges ==
For most roads it crosses it does not have an interchange with that road. It normally goes on a bridge, under a bridge, or in a tunnel (the only tunnel is the tunnel under Colonial Williamsburg) (mostly the second type in this list). The Colonial Parkway is mostly covered by trees and is very shady in the summer and spring or beautiful in the fall and winter (mostly when it snows). Examples of this happening: when it crosses Interstate 64 and US Route 60. It mostly when it crosses a road (if it even has an intersection with it) is mostly more like an interchange than a crossroad. Almost every overpass is made of brick and made to look like it was made in the Colonial era (mostly roads that go over the Colonial Parkway instead of the bridges that the Colonial Parkway uses to travel over other roads (like Interstate 64)). It mostly looks like a Colonial trail or wagon road in the Colonial era with most of the wildlife and animals at the York River and the James River (at the ends or near the ends). The Parkway is a connector of Virginia's Historic Triangle and other roads or the Jamestown Ferry (to State Route 10).
