2026 Update: The Pittsburgh Bridge Company was once one of the most prolific regional bridge companies in America. However thanks largely to PennDOT and Pennsylvania surviving examples of bridges by this company are today rare and increasingly rare. This was one of the rarest and largest surviving examples of the Pittsburgh Bridge Company and it was not in the way of a replacement bridge. With minor repairs it could have been stabilized and left as a monument, even if it was ultimately closed to all traffic including pedestrians. Instead it was condemned as on the verge of collapse, probably stretching the truth and failing to contact expert companies like Bach Steel as DOTs often do. But Virginia refused to even do that, proving that its no better than Pennsylvania and is now one of the largest contributors to the decline of surviving Pittsburgh Bridge Company bridges, having demolished one of the largest surviving examples. Pittsburgh Bridge Company is the bridge company that preservation forgot. And Virginia is for Lovers... lovers of demolition!
This bridge's song is:
Noted for its three span configuration this is one of the best surviving examples of the standard Pratt truss sold by the Pittsburgh Bridge Company. The bridge has the unusual design details of the company including floorbeams that frame around the bottom chord connections. The counter diagonal members also have an uncommon four prong forged eye design. This bridge has been bypassed and abandoned next to the replacement bridge. The replacement bridge dates to 2013.
This historic bridge has been demolished. This map is shown for reference purposes only.
