Old TN 100 Bridge

Posted October 18, 2008, by Anthony Dillon (spansaver [at] hotmail [dot] com)

This is a real beauty! Very ornate portals, and the unusual slope of the endposts give this bridge an almost "bowstring" appearance. The city of Nashville would be smart to restore this span for trail or recreational use.
