1. The bridge (http://bridgehunter.com/tn/giles/silver-creek/) seems to be on an older or bypassed alignment of US 31 (FAP 7) when one looks at a map or satellite.
2. The bridge (http://bridgehunter.com/tn/giles/silver-creek/) is much narrower and lower than this one.
Since this bridge is on what seems to be the newer alignment it makes more sense that this bridge would have the newer build date (1948) and not the older one (1924), which I believe is the build date for the bridge on the older alignment. What makes this more confusing is that this bridge is that the NBI says its built in 1924 but rehabbed in 1948, which is the same build year as the supposed "older alignment" bridge.
Your input is welcome because I am considering switching the listings for these bridges, but before I do so, I would like guidance.
I need help here:
I believe the NBI has this bridge switched with this one: http://bridgehunter.com/tn/giles/silver-creek/
