This is an arch bridge that carries the Norfolk Southern Railroad, which is an Amtrak track, over Dexter Pinckney Road. The bridge is a one-lane bridge and extensive signage is posted to warn motorists. The bridge is also clearly posted as having 11 feet 10 inches clearance. This is a stone arch bridge, built using a stone that is common on railroad bridges. There has been talk of destroying this attractive structure, so the future of this bridge is uncertain.
