Market Street Bridge (Chattanooga, Tennessee)

            Historic 1917 Market Street Bridge over the Tennessee River in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee.  When it was built, the center 310-foot double leaf bascule lift span was the longest in the country.  The Vang Construction Company of Maryland built the concrete closed-spandrel arch approaches, the Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge Company of Chicago designed the lift span, and the Toledo Bridge and Crane Company erected the lift span.

In 1950, the bridge was renamed the Chief John Ross Bridge (in honor of the Cherokee Chief who had settled Ross’s Landing – later to become Chattanooga).  The Market Street Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 (NRHP No. 10001047).
