To allow access from historic/commercial areas west of the Harpeth River to walking/biking trails on the east, the City of Franklin needed a pedestrian bridge. The bridge was shipped to Franklin in five sections and was assembled on site. Fabricated from self-weathering steel tubing with a pressure-treated wood deck, the superstructure has minimal maintenance requirements. The three concrete piers and both abutments were constructed using irregular stone-shaped forms, providing visual compatibility with the river banks. The original construction budget was $450,000; the final construction cost was $447,350. An Award of Excellence was presented to the City of Franklin by Rebuild Tennessee Coalition for this project.
