Context/Comments

Built in 1930, the Fairchilds Creek Bridge is a single-lane, single-span Parker through-truss bridge of steel construction, 151 feet in length and 18 feet in width, with a wooden deck. In 2004 it was documented as one of only two surviving examples in Mississippi of a one-lane, single-span, wood-deck Parker through-truss bridge.

This bridge was listed on the National Register on 8 June 2005, as a later addition to the "Historic Bridges of Mississippi," a thematic group nomination prepared in 1988 by Jack Elliott, historical archaeologist of MDAH.
