Catoctin Creek Bridge
The Catoctin Creek Bridge crosses over Catoctin Creek in Loudoun County, Virginia.
It currently carries Virginia Route 673, also known as Featherbed Lane. Originally located at a crossing of nearby Goose Creek, carrying the Leesburg Turnpike, it was later Virginia State Route 7, but was relocated in 1932 to its present location.
It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 24, 1974.
