Collins River Bridge
Description
The largest main truss of this bridge was relocated from the old Hyde's Ferry (Bordeaux) Bridge (1887-1917) in Nashville over the Cumberland River. The Nashville Bridge Co. relocated the span to its present location in 1924. The other remaining truss span of the old Hyde's Ferry Bridge was located in western Davidson County on an abandoned alignment of TN 100 (Old Harding Road). See the Old TN 100 Bridge in Davidson County for more info. (**TN100 span destroyed by flooding in 2010.)
