Callaghan Ogle Creek Bridge

Callaghan Ogle Creek Bridge

Callaghan Bridge formerly carried VA Route 159 over Ogle Creek in Callaghan, Virginia.


The Callaghan Bridge, a pin-connected Pratt through truss, was constructed over Ogle Creek for US Route 60 in 1932. When the US Route 60 and Alternate US Route 60 intersection was reconfigured into a large “Y” configuration in 1947, a new concrete bridge was constructed over Ogle Creek. 1
