Linville Creek Bridge is a historic Thacher truss bridge located near Broadway, Rockingham County, Virginia. It was built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company in 1898. It is a single span, measuring 135 feet 11 inches (41.43 m) long. This bridge was formerly identified as a hybrid Whipple, incorporating aspects of both the double-intersection Pratt and the double-intersection Warren. The structure in actuality is a Thacher truss, a hybrid configuration incorporating elements of the Pratt, Warren, Fink, and Bollman trusses that was first patented by Edwin Thacher in 1883. Its unusual configuration and the bewildering number of descriptions that have been applied to it merely reinforce its position as a bridge that is a rare survivor of an uncommon form.
