Old Emory River Bridge, Spanning Emory River on US 27, Harriman, Roane County, TN
Summary
Significance: The bridge is significant as a representative concrete filled arch bridge and as an example of the early work in Tennessee by the nationally significant Luten Bridge Company. It is one of the few extant larger scale urban concrete bridges in Tennessee from this period. It also derives secondary significance as one of the few remaining bridges built as a result of enabling legislation passed by the State in 1913 which allowed counties to pass bond issues for bridges.
