Red Cliff Pine Street Bridge
Description
This wooden deck arch bridge was built in 1992, which was during a period of very heavy rail traffic on the Tennessee Pass Line. It is interesting that this is a hinged arch. See page for "UP - Tennessee Pass Tunnel" for more information.Apparently after it was built, it was found that it was not quite high enough to allow double-stack container trains to pass underneath, so the east arch was notched, and reinforced with steel rods.
NBI lists this bridge as eligible for NRHP.
