Preserving the Fieldale Iron Bridge: Part II

Located in southern Virginia, the Fieldale Iron Bridge has been an important part of the community of Fieldale since its construction in 1931. Upon learning that it would be destroyed to make way for a new more modern bridge, several community groups have tried to preserve this historic structure. By joining forces to work cooperatively, the Dan River Basin Association, their Martinsville-Henry County Rivers & Trails Group, and the community of Fieldale have banded together to reuse parts of the bridge as trail art along one of the area's walking trails. Now that the bridge is safe, financial support from the community and all who enjoy history is needed to fund the welding, lead abatement, repainting, and mounting of the trusses. Please join the movement and help preserve the Fieldale Iron Bridge. Send tax-deductible donations to Dan River Basin Association Attn: Iron Bridge Project, 413 Church Street, Suite 401 Eden, NC 27288. For more information contact drba.va@danriver.org or call 276-634-2545.
