HistoricBridges notes that the western approach is a long, curved viaduct over the town of Catlettsburg, KY.

The trusses were built in 1943, and the steel-girder viaduct was built in 1951. [HistoricBridges]

| Mtnclimberjoe Rail Photography posted CSX empty coal train E900 and manifest M316 are neck and neck as they race each other eastbound on the CSX Kanawha Subdivision behind a well worn Dash 8 and the freshly painted Operation Lifesaver SD70MACe. The coal train is taking the lead as the two trains roll over the Big Sandy River and cross into Kenova, West Virginia. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mtnclimberjoe50/53255094942/ ====Info==== 9/25/2022 CSX Kanawha Subdivision Russell, KY CSX E900-25 (Coal Empties; Russell, KY to Peach Creek, WV) CSX 7764 C40-8W Blt. 1992 CSX 7253 AC44CM Ex.

| B&T, this webpage has many more photos C&O's first crossing was in 1894. The trusses were replaced during WWII to handle the weight of the Allegheny class articulated locomotives. The 1894 trusses were relocated to build another bridge. This webpage also has photos of that, now abandoned, new bridge as well. At first, those photos confused me because I thought I had accessed the wrong bridge. But if you scroll down you can find the photos for this bridge. |
It appears the trusses span flood plains on both sides. The levee in this view confirms that they are spanning flood plains. I see that B&T's photo captures different water levels on the piers.
