Dunlap Creek Bridge

New Dunlap Creek Bridge

Posted on March 16, 2023March 16, 2023 by Sherman Cahal

This former Warren through truss over Dunlap Creek in Callaghan, Virginia, seems to have been demolished, with a replacement in the works. This formerly carried US Route 60 and was built in 1934, with the superstructure fabricated by the Roanoke Iron & Bridge Works. The bridge has been used by a landlocked landowner since 1971, as the construction of Interstate 64 forced the relocation of US Route 60.

I’m not exactly sure how the cost-to-benefit ratio works in this case, but a temporary driveway was constructed for the landlocked landowner that connects to modern-day US Route 60 during this construction process. How does an expensive new bridge serve taxpayers well?
