The "keystone" of the Thomas Jefferson Parkway is the Saunders Bridge. Opened on July 3, 2002, the bridge serves as Monticello's main vehicular entrance and soon, as a link between sections of the Saunders-Monticello Trail on the north and south side of Route 53. Both the bridge and the Saunders-Monticello Trail are named in grateful recognition of a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Saunders III. Mr. Saunders is chairman of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation's Board of Trustees.
