Carries U.S. 25-E over French Broad River (Douglass Lake)
Design: truss/through/warren
Design Details: One of the strangest designs for a cantilevered through truss bridge ever. The cantilevered sections on either side of the Pratt through truss channel span, are not welded with massive steel as most cantilevers, but merely several steel beams designed to only connect the three spans together. The combination converted it into a continuous cantilevered subdivided Warren through truss style bridge.
Total Length: 1765.2 Feet
Span Length: 205.4 Feet
