This bridge is at the intersection of Hiwassee Road and Reno Avenue. This area has a steady stream of traffic, and the roadside barriers of the bridge have been damaged by vehicles. On the north side, a metal guardrail has been added across the five piers for protection. On the south side, one section of concrete has been destroyed and we assume this will soon have a metal guardrail too.
Along each side of Reno Avenue, the bridge had five concrete pillars about 3 ft. high (some of which have been destroyed). The WPA shield is stamped at the center of the bridge railings on the curbing and reads 1939. There are three concrete tunnels under the bridge, each about 5 ft. high and 10 ft. wide. This creek carries a lot of water past this location.
