Built in 1904, this steel truss bridge expands across the Broad River connecting the small town of Peak, SC to Fairfield County. It is 1,100 feet long
Several bridges have been built across this site including one that the confederates burned down themselves to slow Sherman's army passing through. Around 2009, the railroad turned this bridge over to the Palmetto trail and has been made safe to travel by foot or bicycle.
On the bridge you can see a great view of the Broad River and sometimes Bald eagles and other wildlife from the bridge.
