PHOTO ALBUM 49 - Old Hickory Bridge (1929)

     This photo came from the March 27, 1929 issue of the Old Hickory News. The issue was dedicated to the grand opening of the new bridge across the Cumberland which replaced the old Swinging Bridge.

The new bridge uniting Hadley's Bend with the outlying subdivisions of Nashville represents the culmination of efforts exerted since the "Powder Plant" days. A million dollar bond issue was voted by the people of Davidson County, August 5, 1926, to defray the expenses of the project, after it had been given endorsement by the county court and had received the approval of the legislature.
