Notes
  • Significance: Virginia Department of Transportation Bridge No. 6051 is a nine-panel Pratt through truss bridge 159'-0" in length. Manufactured by the Variety Iron Works of Cleveland, Ohio, and most likely erected in 1889, the structure is a representative surviving example of a popular truss type built to specifications by county authorities and bridge companies during the 1875-1925 period in Virginia. Relatively inexpensive and easy to manufacture, ship, and erect on site, Pratt metal truss bridges found widespread application in rural areas throughout the last quarter of the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth century.
  • Survey number: HAER VA-110
