Notes
  • Significance: The Lake James Spillway Bridge by the Virginia Bridge and Iron Company for the Southern Power Company during the construction of the dam to form Lake James. The two Pratt trusses are the longest in North Carolina and are the ultimate length of this span type. The eight-panel, 152' trusses span the spillway of the lake and were an engineering achievement of their day.
  • Survey number: HAER NC-37
  • Building/structure dates: 1919 Initial Construction
