LeGore Bridge, Stone arch road bridge in Frederick County, Maryland, US.
LeGore Bridge is a stone arch bridge spanning the Monocacy River in Frederick County with five limestone arches supporting its length. The structure crosses a significant waterway and served as a key transportation route through rural Maryland.
Built between 1898 and 1900, the bridge emerged as local limestone quarrying operations expanded in the region. Its construction enabled both public access and the movement of raw materials for industrial processing.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this bridge in 1978, recognizing its engineering methods and role in regional development.
The bridge remains passable by vehicle and connects local communities with a key roadway. Visitors can view the structure from multiple angles, especially from the riverbanks below.
The structure was multifunctional from the start, serving simultaneously as a transport route, public crossing, and infrastructure for industrial operations. This overlapping purpose was unusual for bridges of that era.
