Carries Catoosa Road over Emory River
Design: truss/through/camelback
Design Details: One 180-foot Camelback, two 149 foot Camelback spans. Each span is a pin-connected Camelback through truss.. pin connections were very unusual on a span of this type in 1929, normally they were on earlier truss spans. The two 149-foot truss spans, the second incline contains only one panel, while the 180-span has the more typical two-panel incline. West abutment is masonry, east abutment is masonry with a concrete camp, denoting they were built for the 1906 spans. Top chords, end posts and veticals are channels with lacing. Bottom chords and diagonals are paired rectilinear eyebars, and the counters are single cylindrical tie rods.
Total Length: 481.0 Feet
Span Length: 180.0 Feet
Overview: Camelback through truss bridge over Emory River on Catoosa Road
History: Built 1929 after this and nearby bridges at Oakdale and Deermont were destroyed by floods in 1906
