Abstract:Prior to 1932, road maintenance and construction in Virginia were largely the responsibility of the individual county governments. Bridge construction projects, based on local requirements, formed a natural part of these activities. Local responsibility very often resulted in a rich variety of bridge designs built by an equally diverse group of bridge companies. The following report on the 14 counties that make up the Richmond Construction District discusses the diversity found in the most popular nineteenth century bridge type, the metal truss bridge.
