Va. Creeper wooden bridges

[NW Mailing List]

Nice photo. Clearly shows that a 'curved' plate girder bridge consists of multiple straight girder sections supporting a curved deck.? View from below would be enlightening, too.

Mike,

Does a wooden superstructure on steel girders fit your needs? This is the curved bridge about 2 miles east of Damascus.

Yes to both questions. Many of the trestles are intact.

I have heard that some of the Va. Creeper route has been turned into a Va. State park walk way. Is that true and are any of the wooden bridges still in tact??
Thanks:
