On this day in 1984 construction was completed on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway! The photo below is called "Historic Meeting of Two Rivers" from a National Geographic article published in 1986. It features the historic meeting of water from the Tennessee River, foreground, joining the Tombigbee River near Amory, MS.

Joe Clark: Glad this was completed using the plan b method. Although I am sure the nukes would have been more exciting.

At first, I was looking at the bridge and I thought the photo below was the same as the above. And then I spotted the sandbar in the foreground. Judging from the piers, the river levels are the same. What is labeled a close-up is actually further away.
