Great day around the Chattanooga area yesterday with Alex Minahan. I had some work to take care of and wanted to get NS 8025 the Monongahela on NS 202 so it was worth the 10 hour round trip from Memphis. Also finally got my 1st drone shot of TennBridge and spent some time around Nickajack Lake with the drone for the first time as well. We did have to drive up to the Tennessee River bridge in Loudon, TN on the NS Knoxville District to get the 8025 in good light but it was worth it!! Only 2 NS Heritage units remaining for me now; NYC & PC leading in good light!! 4/4/2020

"
The bridge is noted for its very long [375'] simple truss span." It is relatively modern because it uses bolts instead of rivets and rolled beams instead of built-up lattice truss members. [HistoricBridges]

At first, I could not figure out why they had a big new pier holding up two short girder spans. Then when I looked at a contemporary view, it became obvious. Karl caught them building a longer span that replaced the previous span and its support pier. The longer span uses the new pier for support.

[The 1929 truss was replaced in 2004. The replacement is just two lanes; but, I assume, it has compliant lane and shoulder widths.] |
