Tennessee Riverwalk Arch Suspension Bridge

This dual-purpose steel arch suspension bridge serves as part of the Tennessee Riverwalk system. It also supports a 60-inch ductile iron gravity interceptor across the mouth of Citico Creek at the Tennessee River. It is constructed of tubular weathering steel sections with a 133-foot span and a 10-foot-wide boardwalk. The arch reaches a maximum height of 27 feet over the bridge deck. Extensive coordination with utilities and extreme care were required for the location of abutments in order to avoid existing raw water intake pipes of Tennessee-American Water Company.
