This bridge was completed in 1912, replacing an earlier, lighter bridge which was completed in 1886
It is currently (2017) owned by Norfolk Southern Corp.
In foreground is swing span designed to pivot on cylindrical pier, allowing boats to pass during high water (probably not opened since 1920).
Also visible is asphalt barge which broke loose from towboat "Kelly Lee", went through lowest gate (next to hydro plant) of McAlpine Dam and came to rest on its port side against 2 bridge piers.
