Kellys Run Bridge

I feel like this page matched up with the bridge depicted in the articles. The bridge farther South over Four Mile Creek is longer. Given that neither has an original date listed in the NBI they are possibly on substructures from earlier spans. I chose to use this page that may or may not have referred to whatever they put up in it's place. I'm in Richmond every so often and will have to drive over and take a look the next time I'm in the area.

Great find Melissa!

Tony, I was thinking the same thing on both counts :^)

Mike, I may have a solution: The two pictures Melissa posted were taken from opposite sides of the stream and the article says a mile south from Route 122. The text and pictures suggest to me that Melissa's articles relate to the next stream crossing - about another half mile further south. If everyone agrees, we can leave the NBI data and migrate Melissa's pictures and our comments to a new entry for that crossing.

I realize, I'm probably seeing things in the fuzzy newspaper pictures but in the second image, there appears to be a lack of built up beams and what may be cast 'knuckles' at what was probably the end post - top cord connection. Which, being me, makes me think CBW :^)

Regards to all,

There probably isn't a way to unlink the useless NBI report from this, is there?

I'd wonder who foolishly linked it, but given the BH number (in the 35000s), I gather this page was probably initially created several years ago.

Of course the unlicensed kid says it just collapsed... but the report says he hit it lol.

And I'm guessing the gentleman under the bridge had to abandon his fishing for the day, in order to go home and change his drawers.😨😆

My favorite part of bridge collapse photos is that in every photo there is someone standing with their hands on their hips with, head cocked to the side, and looking at it thinking how did this happen
