This is the last remaining Bollman Truss Bridge in the world. It’s located in Savage, MD.  Why is the Bollaan truss bridge important?  Becasue it was the first successfull bridge design made entirely of metal, and it was designed and built right here in Maryland.   This particular bridge was actually moved to its current location in 1887.  It is a national historic landmark, and its so famous that they named a neighboring elementary school after the bridge.
