P. R. Olgiati Bridge, Girder bridge in Chattanooga, United States
The P. R. Olgiati Bridge spans 1,800 feet across the Tennessee River with a main section extending 400 feet over the water.
Named after Peter Rudolph Olgiati, the 55th Mayor of Chattanooga who served from 1951 to 1963, this bridge opened in 1959 during his administration.
The construction required relocating 1,400 families and demolishing one thousand buildings, marking a significant change in Chattanooga's urban landscape.
The bridge carries US Highway 27 and accommodates over 68,000 vehicles daily, connecting the northern areas of Signal Mountain and Red Bank to downtown.
Originally called the Cedar Street Bridge, this structure underwent expansion from four to six lanes between 1999 and 2003.
