Location

This bridge is located at exit 58 just 1/4 mile north of interstate 40 at Clarksville. Though the photos suggest a remote location, the town has grown around this bridge and it actually sets just behind a Wendy's restaurant. This is the bridges original location as far as is known and according to locals it has been there since at least 1930.
