Cartersville Bridge
Cartersville Bridge, Historic road bridge in Cumberland County, United States
The Cartersville Bridge spans 843 feet across the James River, featuring six spans supported by five stone piers and two stone abutments.
The bridge's foundation dates back to 1822, while its current heavy timber superstructure with cast-iron connections was constructed between 1883 and 1884.
