A couple of years ago we spent some time with a friend in the city of Chattanooga, Tennesee. I was reminded of the day we spent there when we stopped by to see her again a couple of weeks ago on our way home from visiting our son and family in Geogia. Acturally, being in Chattanooga can be a challenge as it is a city that sits on the borders of 3 state, Tennesee, Georgia and Alabama. Just when you think you are in one you are in another. That's the way the highway system works.

According to the Historic American Engineering Record: "the Bridge was apparently the first non-military highway bridge across the Tennesee River. [Wikipedia]
