Jimmy Mann Evans Memorial Bridge, Road bridge across Kentucky Lake, Tennessee, United States
The Jimmy Mann Evans Memorial Bridge is a road bridge that spans about half a mile across Kentucky Lake with four traffic lanes. The steel stringer construction connects Benton and Humphreys counties in western Tennessee and accommodates daily traffic between these areas.
The bridge was completed in 1965 as a major infrastructure project for the region between Memphis and Nashville. Its construction significantly improved transportation connections across western Tennessee.
The bridge was named in 1992 to honor Jimmy Mann Evans, a former president of the Tennessee Road Builders Association. The naming reflects local recognition of his contributions to regional transportation.
The bridge serves as a primary connection between the two counties and handles heavy daily traffic. Visitors should be aware that it is a busy main route with steady vehicle flow.
The waterway beneath the bridge marks a constitutional boundary between two regions of Tennessee with distinct geographic characteristics. At this location the Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake meet.
