South Fork Shenandoah River Bridge

Posted August 6, 2007, by Travis L. Kelley (travlark [at] hotmail [dot] com)

I drove over this bridge yesterday afternoon and snapped photos from the park to the southwest of the bridge.

It's really a very pretty three-span through-truss bridge. I was very excited to have the chance to photograph it.
