Harahan Bridge, Railroad bridge across Mississippi River in West Memphis, United States.
The Harahan Bridge features two railway lines and stretches 4,973 feet across the Mississippi River between Tennessee and Arkansas.
The bridge opened on July 14, 1916, named after Illinois Central Railroad president James Theodore Harahan, who died during its construction.
The bridge connects Memphis, a center of music and civil rights history, with West Memphis through its steel construction and railway infrastructure.
Union Pacific Railroad maintains the bridge, which includes a dedicated pathway for pedestrians and cyclists along its northern side.
The bridge construction required extensive stabilization of the riverbed using willow mats before installing pneumatic caissons in varying river conditions.
