Notes
  • Significance: The bridge is a late example of metal truss design, which was a standard of the Tennessee Highway Department since 1920. The bridge is also a tangible artifact of the lifestyle and economic changes in Pickett County bought about by the construction of Dale Hollow Dam. The replacement of the small ferry by the large steel truss bridge mirrors the change from a strictly rural economy to a more diversed system base on industry, tourism, and agriculture.
  • Survey number: HAER TN-34
  • Building/structure dates: 1943- before 1947 Initial Construction
