Crab Run Lane Truss Bridge is a historic Truss bridge located on State Route 645 in McDowell, Highland County, Virginia. It was built in 1896, by the West Virginia Bridge Works of Wheeling, West Virginia. It is a single-span, four-panel pony truss measuring 39 feet (12 m) long, 12 feet 6 inches (3.81 m) wide, and 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m) tall. Much of the bridge is constructed of bent and straight steel railroad rails. The bridge was taken out of service for vehicular traffic in 1994; it is now used to carry pedestrian and bicycle traffic.[3]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
