This is a photo of the historic railroad bridge in Riverside, Alabama that crosses the Coosa River/Lake Logan Martin between St. Clair and Talladega counties.
The bridge was erected in 1927 by Virginia Bridge and Iron Company of Roanoke, Virginia and was rehabbed in 1964.
According to HistoricBridges.org the bridge is composed of a variety of spans that date to different times. The main span, the swing span, dates to 1927 while one of the plate girder approach spans was built in 1964 by American Bridge. The organization notes, "There are two bolted fixed through truss spans that appear to be even newer. The remainder approach spans are deck plate girders."
The main length is 230 feet long and structure length is 720 feet.
