Henley Street Bridge, Concrete arch bridge in Knoxville, Tennessee, US
The six-span Henley Street Bridge stretches 1,793 feet across the Tennessee River with a main arch span measuring 317 feet in length.
Constructed in 1930 by Booth and Flinn Company of Pittsburgh during the Great Depression, this bridge connected Knoxville to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The bridge bears the name of Colonel David Henley, a Revolutionary War officer who served as a War Department agent in Knoxville during the 1790s.
The structure carries more than 43,000 vehicles daily on its 54-foot-wide roadway, linking downtown Knoxville with the Chapman Highway in South Knoxville.
The bridge construction utilized an innovative moving arch centering system that allowed builders to construct each concrete arch rib in sequence.
