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.
