Significance: The U.S. Route 76 Bridge over the CSX Railroad is one of the earliest extant bridges built under the auspices of the South Carolina State Highway Commission. It is a representative example of a reinforced concrete T-beam bridge, one of only forty of this type built in the state between 1900 and 1929 that remain unaltered. It is also significant for its association with the Highway Commission's award-winning Bridge Division.
