Norfolk Southern is replacing the historic Whitewater River Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge that spans over the Whitewater Valley Gorge. According to the board minutes of the Richmond Board of Works meeting from Sept. 18, the replacement project by Hall Contracting of Kentucky, Inc, began in Nov. 2025 and will take about one year to complete. This bridge has been a fixture in the community for those who work, travel through, or explore the Whitewater Valley Gorge, and in recent decades, those walking or bike riding the Cardinal Greenway, on the former C&O line that travels directly beneath the former PRR bridge. The massive steel bridge has been included in hundred of photos I have take in the last 25 years. The original bridge was built about 1870, and the current trusses were built in 1902 on the original stone abutments (Source: https://www.bridgehunter.com/bridges/45986). It was originally a bridge of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad. I will be posting updates on this as demolition progresses, as well posting older photos I have taken or acquired. (Image 1: bridgehunter.com)
