Stone bridge of Blue Ridge Parkway MP 45.6 crosses US-60. Buena Vista, Virginia, USA.

A handsome stone bridge of the Blue Ridge Parkway (Milepost 45.6) crosses over US-60 (which goes west to Buena Vista & Lexington and east to Amherst) in Virginia, USA. Notice the white stalactites forming under the old arched stones. The scenic 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway was built 1935-1987 to aesthetically connect Shenandoah National Park (in Virginia) with Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina, following crestlines and the Appalachian Trail. The Parkway is carried across streams, railway ravines and cross roads by 168 bridges and six viaducts. The Blue Ridge Mountains are a subset of the Appalachian Mountains.
