Here is a photo of this bridge when it was new. It was built by Arthur Dyer and the Nashville Bridge Company about a century ago. The photo is owned by his grandson, A.J. Dyer III.

The old mulberry bridge has the same approaches.

Very unorthodox pony approaches that used to bracket this bridge. It's a shame they didn't leave them in place.

I have access to the south end of the bridge, and will take pictures of the approaches and the southern end of it.
