MORO Scores last look at low-water bridge
A crowd gathered at Morgan's Ford on April 17 to bid farewell to the 85-year-old low-water bridge before VDOT closes Rockland and Happy Creek roads for demolition. The plan replaces it with a higher two-lane span, sparking criticism over pedestrian and cyclist safety and the loss of a historic site linked to Smoketown and the Virginia Landmark designation. The piece condemns spending on a golf course and parks while lamenting the alteration of the Shenandoah River area and Morgan's Ford's scenic value.
