Bull Run Bridge
was built in the 1920's, probably under the direction of the principal
state engineer of the time, Claudius Crozet. Crossing Bull Run
near Centreville, the bridge was constructed of gray and red sandstone,
with two semicircular stilted arches and a rounded ice abutment
to protect the upstream side of the central pier.
Just north
of the structure, the First Battle of Manassas began on July 21,
1861. Following the Second Battle of Manassas in August 1862,
many of General John Pope's federal troops retreated to Centreville
over the bridge, destroying it as they reached the safety of the
other side. The bridge was rebuilt after the Civil War and restored
to its Civil War appearance in 1960. It is located in the Manassas
National Battlefield Park.
