This bridge, part of the onroad portion of the Georgetown Branch Trail between Bethesda and Silver Spring has a pretty interesting history.
The Talbot Avenue Bridge was built in 1918. The center section was a railroad turntable bridge hauled to the site from Martinsburg and turned upside down to serve as a road bridge. It is a single lane bridge with a wood deck, and carries 1000-2000 vehicles every day.
