I-95 over Brook Road

Late 1950s (1956-1959)
I-95 over Brink Road

1960s
I-66 over Ashville Road

1970s
Temple Avenue Exit over I-95

1980s

1990s
I-95 over Rogers Clark Boulevard

2000s
US 17 BUS over US 17

2010s

The first 2 you posted are both from the late 1950's.

The first one was constructed 1957-1958 above the Richmond-Petersburg Tpk. What's there now is actually a reconstructed bridge on the original support columns. Here's an example of what the original railings looked like (just south of Brook Road):

The second one was constructed 1958-59 and is indeed an original for that section.
