Broad River Bridge
Description
Lost through truss bridge that carried SR 1155 across the Broad River.
"Prior to its replacement in 2009, this bridge carried Gray's Road, east of Rutherfordton, 256 feet across the Broad River. It consisted of eight spans, the 130-foot-long, Camelback through truss main span and seven 18-foot-long, steel stringer approach spans. The truss was composed of pin-connected, eye-bar tension members and riveted, built-up, compression members of standard steel sections. The bridge was supported on fieldstone abutments, four concrete bents and, at its truss, two built-up, steel, cylindrical, column bents filled with concrete. Rather than demolish the bridge, the state had the contractor dismantle it for re-use. It was subsequently discarded, however."-NCDOT
