A Survey and Photographic Inventory of Metal Truss Bridges in Virginia, 1865-1932. VI. The Lynchburg Construction District

摘要

To establish criteria for judging the historic significance of metal truss bridges, surveys of these bridges were made to determine the types and characteristics of trusses built prior to 1932, when the counties relinquished responsibility for highways to the Commonwealth of Virginia. A variety of trusses remain in use in the Lynchburg District, including the world's only known surviving Fink deck truss, which has been declared a National Civil Engineering Landmark by ASCE.
