Abstract:Prior to 1932, road maintenance and construction in Virginia were largely the responsibility of the individual county governments. Bridge construction projects formed a natural part of these activities. Local responsibility resulted in a rich variety of bridge designs built by an equally diverse group of bridge companies. The following report on the 12 counties comprising the Culpeper Construction District discusses that diversity found in just one of the popular nineteenth century bridge forms, the metal truss bridge.
