LeGore Bridge

Located in Frederick County, Maryland, 6 miles east of Thurmont.

From a web listing of Maryland National Register structures:
Crossing the Monocacy River. Built in the late 19th century,
it is a closed spandrel filled stone arch bridge of five spans
supported by stone piers.The overall length of the structure is 248 feet
with a clear roadway width of 20.7 feet between four foot high stone parapet walls. It is 50 feet high.

The LeGore Bridge is the only five-span stone arch bridge in Frederick County.
The construction of this bridge is the vision of one man, James William LeGore.
Using limestone and workmen from the LeGore Lime and Stone Plant,
he engineered and built this very large stone bridge in the late 19th century.
