The Catoctin Creek Bridge crosses over Catoctin Creek in Loudoun County, Virginia.

It currently carries Virginia Route 673, also known as Featherbed Lane. Originally located at a crossing of nearby Goose Creek, carrying the Leesburg Turnpike, it was later Virginia State Route 7, but was relocated in 1932 to its present location.

It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 24, 1974.^[1]

Description

The bridge is a nine-panel iron Pratt truss bridge, fabricated by the Variety Iron Works of Cleveland, Ohio and first erected around 1889. It is a single span of 159 feet (48 m), with a roadway width of 11.18 feet (3.41 m). The deck is made of timbers. It is one of the longest 19th-century metal truss bridges remaining in Virginia.^[3]
