Part of the Dixie Highway as well as the city's principal
retail street. It crosses the Tennessee River by a new concrete
bridge, finished in 1918 at a cost of more than a million dollars.
It is a very aristocratic successor to the wooden bridge at the
same location in Civil War days and which lasted not much
longer than that war.
