T-beam bridges were first constructed in Virginia in the 1920s and were a dominant concrete bridge design from the late 1920s through the late 1960s. The Appomattox River Bridge was built in 1930, and is a common single-span, T-beam, non-arched concrete bridge. It measures 33 feet (10 m) in length in three sections, 38 feet (12 m) in overall width, and stands 11 feet (3.4 m) above the river. The bridge was widened from 30 feet (9.1 m) to its present width in 1970–1971.
Commemoration
Each bridge rail consists of nine panels in three sections, 12-inch (30 cm) posts separate the sections. Each section features three alternating panels displaying stylized designs recalling the Confederate battle flag and the Union's stars and stripes flag. Four concrete obelisks, 3.5 feet (1.1 m) tall, stand on the bridge abutments.[3]
