Notes
  • Significance: The celebrated opening of this bridge in 1926 signified a new era of road and bridge building and improvements in the state of Virginia, represented here by the dedication of a major stretch of U.S. Route 1, one of America's first north-south interstate highway systems. The modest artistry of this rural crossing represents the lingering influence of the City Beautiful movement, a crusade that stressed the importance of aesthetics in public works construction. It also reflects a growing historical consciousness and an effort to commemorate America's past through elements of the national highway system. Part of the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway, it specifically commemorated General Ulysses S. Grant's Wilderness Campaign of 1864. From an engineering perspective, this bridge helps illuminate the development of metal truss technology, particularly during a period of great transition and standardization in bridge design and manufacture.
