Chief John Ross Bridge (NRHP #10001047) - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The Chief John Ross Bridge (aka the Market Street Bridge) in Chattanooga, Tennessee crosses the Tennessee River and is a Metal Three-Hinged Braced Ribbed Through Arch with a movable Double Leaf Bascule (Rolling Lift) and approach spans consisting of Concrete Closed Spandrel Arches. This bridge is a movable monumental bridge, and it is one of the largest bascule bridges ever built. Even when closed, the bridge still offers considerable clearance for boats. It also is unusual because it is a movable braced ribbed through arch bridge. Most movable bridges feature a truss bridge superstructure or a plate girder superstructure. The bridge also enjoys an incredible amount of local significance as it is the only highway bascule bridge in the entire state, in addition to its high level of national significance for its size and unusual design. Finally, the bridge features impressive a number of large deck arch spans that provide an approach to the structure. This great bridge was built in 1917 by Toledo Bridge and Crane Company of Toledo, Ohio after design was completed by Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge Company of Chicago, Illinois and John Edwin Greiner (J. E. Greiner Company of Baltimore, Maryland and Chicago, Illinois). The bridge is named after Cherokee Chief John Ross, the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation from 1828 to 1866, who served longer in that position than any other person. Given the uniqueness and history of this bridge described above, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 2010.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
