Bollman Truss Bridge

Savage, MD

This bright iron bridge is the last surviving example of Wendel Bollman's once-influential railroad truss design. Built in the 19th century and later moved to Savage, it now carries a pedestrian trail across the Little Patuxent River and can be walked through freely.
