The Bridge at Falling Creek is a historic stone arch bridge located near Richmond, in Chesterfield County, Virginia. It was built about 1823 of rough-cut, uncoursed granite. It is carried by two semicircular barrel arches with voussoirs of rough-finished granite. Its width including parapets is {{Convert|24|ft|m}}, and its length is {{Convert|148|ft|m}}. It carried the southbound lanes of U.S. Route 301 until 1977, when it was put out of service. It is accessible from a wayside that includes the Falling Creek UDC Jefferson Davis Highway Marker.{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Chesterfield/020-0135_Bridge_at_Falling_Creek_1995_Final_Nomination.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Bridge at Falling Creek |author=James Christian Hill| date=April 1995|publisher=Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission}} and [http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Chesterfield/BridgeFallingCreek_photo.htm Accompanying two photos] The bridge was partially damaged in 2004 but still remains significant.
