The Historical Marker Reads
Men of the Civilian Conservation Corps' Company 3464 built this
unsuspended bridge between 1935 and 1940 for a 30-acre impoundment of
Byrd's Creek. Three thousand, five hundred and fifty cubic
yards of dirt ad rock were excavated and the core, containing 8,000
tons of concrete, is faced with Crab Orchard stone for the 319' foot
span. Seven spillways, rising 28 feet above the stream bed, carry the
18 foot roadway approximately 16 feet above the water. |
