This railroad bridge crosses Kentucky Lake / Tennessee River at New Johnsonville connecting Humpreys and Benton Counties. The bridge also parallels the US70 highway bridge. It is a multiple through truss bridge with vertical lift section built in 1945 and still in use. I do wonder if the lift portion ever has to raise any more.
