Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge, Concrete deck arch bridge in Williamson County, Tennessee, US.
The Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge spans 1,572 feet across Birdsong Hollow, rising 145 feet above State Route 96 through dense woodland.
The bridge, completed in March 1994, represents the first segmentally constructed concrete arch bridge in the United States, using 122 hollow box segments.
The National Park Service maintains this engineering structure as part of the Natchez Trace Parkway, connecting Nashville to Natchez through three states.
Visitors can observe the bridge from two designated areas: a parking space north of the structure or a lower perspective point on Tennessee Highway 96.
The bridge features a cathedral arch design without spandrel columns, concentrating the deck weight at the arch crown for a clean architectural appearance.
