Below the Valley Pike


There's a new bridge that carries U.S. 11 (the Valley Pike) across Cedar Creek. There's a small parking lot where the old span crossed, with a lane going off it that leads to a farm.

Now that the old bridge is gone, you can clearly see the location of an old ford that predates any of the bridges. It would have been impassable in high water.

Sharing Photo #1 with Fences.

  1. Interesting images, I rarely get to see under a bridge like this. One comes to mind in Occaquan. I hope to go there next week. Love the old gate post shot.

  2. ...Fords, there were several of them in a park near Cleveland. Something that I had never seen before.

  7. How interesting to see the old ford … we do take our bridges and other infrastructure for granted.
