  Original

This bridge was built by Nashville Bridge Co. in 1904 for highway TN13 to cross the Duck River. The Bridge was bypassed in 1980 and the photo is taken from the new bridge. The right span was destroyed in the May 2010 flood. At some point, this road became Old highway 13 as a new TN13 was built from Interstate 40 to 5 miles south of Waverly. The new highway also carries tourism traffic to the Loretta Lynn sites at Hurricane Mills.
