Clarkton Bridge was a historic Pratt truss bridge located over the Staunton River near Nathalie, in Charlotte County, Virginia. It was built in 1902 by the Virginia Bridge & Iron Co., and was the only remaining metal truss structure in Virginia built for highway purposes, which was supported by steel cylinder piers. It consisted of two camelback, pin-connected steel through truss channel spans, and twelve steel deck beam approach spans. The overall dimensions of the bridge approach and truss spans were as follows: north approach, {{Convert|370|ft|m}} with twelve deck spans; north truss, {{Convert|150|ft|m}}; south truss, {{Convert|150|ft|m}}. The total length of the bridge was {{Convert|692|ft|m}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Charlotte/019-0086_ClarktonBridge_2006_NRdraft.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Clarkton Bridge |author=Antony F.
