Fairview Church Road Bridge
This bridge is named the Monroe Bridge. It was petitioned to be built August 1924. John Monroe and his father, Abe Monroe each donated $1000 as well as the land to build the bridge on the site then known as the Monroe Ford, thus the name. The Monroes also donated the gravel, then valued at $500, to construct the bridge. Many others donated funds to have the bridge built ranging from $1000 to $1.
