PLEASE REHIDE AS FOUND OR BETTER

Massaponax Creek Bridge

Information from,
Virginia Highways Project
Abandoned Bridges of Virginia

Photos: (by Vaconcreteman

Location:off US 1, Massaponax Creek near Fredericksburg
Notes: This is shown on the 1958 Spotsylvania County map as still in service as part of SR 636, probably was abandoned when I-95 was built thorugh here in early 60s. Pretty sure US 1 never used it though. The Ni and Po River Bridges are dated 1926 (the current Massaponax Bridge is dated 1978 when it was widened). I cannot really accurately put a date on when the abandoned bridge was built. Concrete bridges like that go back to at least the mid-1910s. I have found only two that had dates on them, 1917 and 1924. The CTB minutes were no help because it was not in the primary system (old VA 1 and VA 31 initially used VA 208/SR 738 to come up from Richmond).
This bridge is just off the parking lot of a fast-food establishment and is easy seen/accessed

This cache is for daylight hours only an not intended to be found after sunset or before sunrise. As this area has a lot of traffic on foot an muggles in vehicales please rehide better then found. It is really importaint for this container to last here. Your looking for a small camo container that is large enough to hold small items or travel bugs that fit. Please bring a pen to log you find. You will encounter thorns, poision ivy, insects an animals found in the wild. Also great area to grab a quick meal or dinne in at any number of great places. Be safe........

First to Find goes to ; skipjoy10
