Notes
  • Significance: The Linville Creek Bridge is a rare surviving example of a metal pin-connected bridge truss designed and patented in 1881 by Edwin Thacher. The truss design combines triangular and suspension systems to eliminate defects inherent in the triangular and quadrangular truss systems in common use at the time. Edwin Thacher made significant contributions to metal truss and reinforced concrete bridge design and construction in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
  • Survey number: HAER VA-97
