Overview

The "New" in "New" River Road Bridge is misleading. The bridge was built in 1935 and the bridge it replaces (See Old River Road/Goose Creek Bridge) sits to the right of the bridge if one is traveling west on River Road.

Deck View

Note the interesting design of the railings. The railings are made of steel except for the balustrades. They are made of concrete and they are in Art Deco fashion.
