This bridge was built in 1931 and is the successor to two other railroad bridges built at this site. With this bridge, L&N tracks were able to cross the Tennessee River connecting Houston and Benton counties near the town of Danville. With the creation of the TVA dam and Kentucky Lake, the bridge had to be raised in 1941. The tracks also had to be raised above water level and the approaches are easily visible on both sides. The view was taken while riding on the Danville\Big Sandy\TN147 Ferry and the western approach uses the old railbed. When L&N abandoned the line, the lift portion and the structures on the Benton County side were removed. The lift was placed on a barge, floated up the Tennessee River to Bridgeport, AL and assembled there.

Then, you might see the small brick structure on the second segment. I believe this is a tiny house placed on that bridge segment. Next, they added a party deck on top. Finally, they added a final open air metal segment below the tracks, which seems to be an ideal fishing spot.
