Blue Ridge Parkway over Business US 58 Bridge
Posted May 17, 2018, by Susan Lea Rudd (susanlearudd [at] yahoo [dot] com)

According to my Grandpa, who was in his 20s when the BRP was being constructed, this bridge was built by Italian stonemasons. He was courting my Grandma at the time and they were boarding at the Webb home. Grandpa worked on the Round Meadow Bridge just south of this one.
