James writes: "It was built in 1891, and is the largest truss bridge in the south, and the oldest on the Tennessee River. It's 2370 feet long, and has 6 truss spans. 3 at 320 feet. 3 at 210 feet. It was built in 1891, closed in 1978, and was slated for demolition until the citizens of Chattanooga banded together and raised the money for rehabilitation as opposed to demolition."
