Way's Bluff Bridge

Way's Bluff Bridge, a 200-foot-long railroad trestle and one of only two bridges across the Big Black River, was the target of several Union raids during the Civil War. During the Vicksburg Campaign, Union Col. Amory Johnson and Gen. Nathan Kimball conducted raids to prevent Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's army from crossing the river and moving from Mechanicsburg to Vicksburg or using the bridge as a means of supply.
