  Original

This dual arch stone bridge crosses Mansker's Creek in Goodlettsville, TN, just north of Nashville. It was part of the stagecoach road that connected Nashville to Louisville. I'm not sure when the bridge was built (somewhere between 1837-49), but the stagecoach line became obsolete when the railroad was completed in 1859, so it's older than that. Many parts of that old road are now US Highway 31W, and today's 31W (Dickerson Pk.) runs a few feet from this bridge. This bridge is also on the National Register of Historic Places.
