The Phoenix Bridge

Phoenix Bridge in the Eagle Rock area . Botetourt County

A couple of weeks ago I saw someone post this awesome bridge on Instagram and I was wondering how in the world I didn't know about this! So the boys and I set out to find it! It was built in 1887 by Phoenix Ironworks and crosses Craig Creek.

  7. Clearly I need to pay more attention to the details on these old bridges. There are some things we just look through without noticing. Love the details in the last two frames.
