| Commentary | Viaducts are a specialized type of bridge used in several areas of the Blue Ridge Parkway - they are an elevated roadway section that carries the roadway above dry ravines or across the shoulders of mountains. This particular viaduct, Pine Creek Bridge No. 7, is technically a bridge that crosses a stream, but the design is based on other viaducts. |
