Catoctin Creek Bridge

The Catoctin Creek Bridge crosses over Catoctin Creek in Loudoun County, Virginia. It currently carries Virginia Route 673, also known as Featherbed Lane. Originally located at a crossing of nearby Goose Creek, carrying the Leesburg Turnpike, it was later Virginia State Route 7, but was relocated in

1932 to its present location. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 24, 1974. It was renamed to John G. Lewis Memorial Bridge in 2015 for the local preservationist who aided in its placement on the National Register in order to preserve the surrounding landscape and prevent the construction of a dam at Taylorstown which would have flooded the area.
