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 Fredericksburg Construction District discusses the diversity found in just one of the popular nineteenth century bridge types, the metal truss bridge.
