Description: The Walnut Street Bridge in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a historic pedestrian bridge that spans the Tennessee River, connecting the downtown area with the North Shore. Completed in 1891, it is one of the oldest surviving bridges of its kind in the South and was originally designed for vehicular traffic. After falling into disrepair and being closed in 1978, the bridge was restored and reopened in 1993 as a pedestrian walkway, becoming a beloved landmark and a key part of the city's revitalization efforts. Today, it offers stunning views of the river and the surrounding landscape, serving as a popular spot for walking, jogging, and community events, and symbolizing Chattanooga's blend of historical preservation and modern urban development.
