Riverfront Park Amphitheater Reaches Topping-Out Milestone
The final curved steel beam has been set at the Riverfront Park Amphitheater, marking a major milestone in the construction of this new community venue in downtown Lynchburg.
The Jamerson-Lewis team celebrated the moment with a topping out ceremony on April 29, joined by partners from Shickel, the City of Lynchburg, and AECOM. The tradition of topping out — placing an evergreen tree and flag on the final beam - honors the work of the crews and marks steady, safe progress on site.
A special thank you to Shickel for their precision, coordination, and expertise throughout the steel phase of the project. Their team has been instrumental in bringing the structure to life.
Once complete, the amphitheater will host concerts, festivals, and events along the James River, becoming a long-awaited addition to Lynchburg’s downtown landscape.
Watch the Video Recap
On April 16, our crews placed the first of several curved steel arches that will soon be the new amphitheater downtown. It stands about 53 feet tall and gives a first glimpse of the stage coming together.
This is a major milestone for everyone involved. We're proud to be leading the project, and our trade partner Shickel is handling all steel fabrication and installation. Their work is helping bring this unique design to life with care, accuracy, and craftsmanship.
The amphitheater has been a vision for Lynchburg for over two decades - a place for concerts, festivals, and community events right in the heart of downtown. Seeing it come together is exciting not just for our team, but for the entire city.
Construction is ongoing, and we’re also building the new on-site restroom facility, using brick salvaged from city streets, a thoughtful detail that ties new development back to the city’s roots.
