Broad Run Bridge and Tollhouse, Stone arch bridge and tollhouse in Loudoun County, Virginia, US.

The Broad Run Bridge features two arches supported by conical buttresses, with a roadway rising toward the center and an adjacent three-bay stone tollhouse.

The stone bridge, completed in 1820 for the Leesburg Turnpike Company, replaced multiple wooden structures that had washed away between 1771 and 1803.

This transportation structure represents early 19th-century infrastructure development connecting Leesburg to Alexandria through the Leesburg Turnpike system established in 1809.

The site spans approximately 0.85 acres west of Routes 7 and 28 junction, with only stone abutments remaining after Hurricane Agnes damaged the bridge in 1972.

The adjacent stone tollhouse, now a private residence, stands as potentially the only remaining bridge tollhouse from that period in Virginia.
