Orange and Alexandria Railroad Hooff's Run Bridge, Railway bridge from 1856 in Alexandria, Virginia.

The round-arch bridge spans Hooff's Run with gray sandstone construction and features a red sandstone addition on its south side from the 1890s.

The Orange and Alexandria Railroad constructed this bridge as part of the first railroad line serving Northern Virginia, connecting Alexandria's waterfront to Lynchburg.

The bridge stands as a representation of mid-nineteenth century engineering practices and marks Alexandria's transformation into a significant transportation hub.

Located at the intersection of Jamieson Avenue and Hooff's Run, the bridge remains accessible for viewing from public rights-of-way.

This structure maintains its position as Alexandria's oldest surviving bridge and the sole remaining intact bridge associated with the Orange and Alexandria Railroad.
