3rd Creek Bridge -- 2 miles west of Statesville
| "The viaduct has five arches --
one very large (60 feet) and four small ones (34 feet each); is 260 feet long, 60 feet
high and 8 feet wide on top. It is strikingly grand and
imposing, combining great strength with form sufficiently light
and airy to give the whole grace and beauty. It is built of
stone and brick, the abutments and pillars for some 25 feet up,
are of stone; all above, except the stone capping, or road bed,
is of hard burnt brick." |
