Bridge at Falling Creek is a historic stone arch bridge located near Richmond, in Chesterfield County, Virginia. It was built about 1823, and is built of rough-cut, uncoursed granite. The bridge is carried by two semicircular barrel arches with voussoirs of rough-finished granite. The total width, including parapets is 24 feet and the length is 148 feet. The bridge carried the southbound lanes of U.S. Route 301 until 1977, when it was put out of service. It is accessible from a wayside that includes the Falling Creek UDC Jefferson Davis Highway Marker.[3] The bridge was partially damaged in 2004 but still remains significant.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
