The Catoctin Creek Bridge over Catoctin Creek in Virginia, is a nine-panel iron Pratt truss bridge, first erected about 1889. The bridge was fabricated by the Variety Iron Works of Cleveland, Ohio. It carries Virginia Route 673, also known as Featherbottom Road. The bridge was originally located at a crossing of nearby Goose Creek, carrying the Leesburg Turnpike, later Virginia State Route 7, but was relocated in 1932 to its present location. The bridge is one span of 159 feet (48 m), with a roadway width of 11.18 feet (3.41 m). The deck is made of timbers. The Catoctin Creek Bridge is one of the longest remaining metal truss bridges of the nineteenth century in Virginia.[3]

The Catoctin Creek Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 24, 1974.[1]
