Port Royal State Historic Park is important as a stop for the early days of travel in Tennessee. This bridge in the park was built in 1887 to accomidate an old route of the Clarksville-Springfield Highway across Sulfur Fork Creek. Today, the bridge is only available to pedestrian traffic.
The bridge is a Pratt through truss design and made by the Converse Bridge Co. The main span is 114 ft. long and 14.5 ft. wide. The entire bridge is 231 ft. long.
This creek is also a border between counties, so I am standing in Montgomery County and the other side is in Robertson County.
