Driving Through Time - The Digital Blue Ridge Parkway
About this Image
| Title | "Bridge 3" Construction in Section 2A |
| Date | July 22, 1936 |
| Description | Photograph shows a bridge under construction in section 2A of the Blue Ridge Parkway, with wooden framework in the center and a worker on the right side. |
| Commentary | This is a view of the 2 abutment walls and the skeleton of a bridge during its construction. The photo notes suggest this is either the 3rd bridge in section 2A or Pine Creek Bridge #3. The stones used in the construction were local to the area, and used to cut costs and provide a unique aesthetic. The workman in the image is laying the stones by hand. |
