Old school camelback truss bridge over the Potomac River, one lane each direction. Potential bottleneck if accident occurs. Built in 1937. Route 15. Fishing and parking spots on both sides of the bridge, Virginia and Maryland. Maryland side near bridge has a paved boat launch area, Clay Street, after you cross railroad tracks, then a small single lane wood bridge.
C&O canal path under bridge, great for pedestrians and bicyclists. Small park with restrooms.
Exxon Gas station nearby. A few food options. Beautiful old Victorian-Gothic revival train station here, look for signs. Building itself is closed. Good place to train watch. If time allows travel down Clay Street / Tuscarora Road to Rocky Point Creamery for some mom and pop made ice cream, about 1 mile from Route 15. 😀

This bridge was built in 1937 and offers impressive views in all directions. Nice structure located at the state line of Maryland and Virginia

Longish sturdy old school bridge, none of the modern suspension stuff, iron frame, unique camelback truss, worth driving on route 15 to see this

The Point of Rocks Bridge is an excellent example of the structural reliability of Maryland road infrastructure: a fourteen-span bridge in a truss-beam crossover, with the center being an eight-span truss design and the approaches constructed with a typical pier-and-girder design. It’s the third bridge to ever be constructed to carry US-15 over the Potomac, with the first being destroyed in the Civil War and the second in the Pittsburgh 1936 Flood. Built in 1937 and renovated in ‘49 and ’79, this bridge carries thousands of cars across the river every day to this day. The only problem is that, being a two-lane bridge and the only Point of Rocks crossing at this time, traffic on this bridge can sometimes get congested, especially during evening rush hour. Nonetheless, first built over 80 years ago, the Point of Rocks Bridge is a testimony to Maryland’s structural superiority and the quality that they put into the construction of their bridges.
