Notes
  • Significance: The Joshua Falls Bridge is associated with a nationally significant transportation corridor, the James River of Virginia. The 1901 five-span Pratt Through Pin Truss bridge constitutes the only crossing of the James River by the CSX Transportation rail line between the cities of Richmond and Lynchburg, and it is the third oldest railroad bridge in the CSX system in Virginia. The stone piers were built in 1881 by the Richmond and Alleghany Railroad for the original bridege at the site; the present bridge superstructure was erected in 1901 for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. The Joshua Falls Bridge is considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places by the Virginia State Historic Preservation Office.
