Hobbs Bridge
The Hobbs Bridge once served as the river crossing here. Completed in 1891 at a cost of $7,329, the bridge was named for Pleasant Hobbs, a member of the Lincoln County Court.Only one of the original three steel trusses of the Hobbs Bridge remains, a Baltimore (Petit) truss which is relatively rare. In 1986, it was the only known bridge of this type remaining in Tennessee. A truss bridge, like the Hobbs Bridge, is composed of many members in triangular patterns that distribute weight on the bridge allowing it to carry heavy loads.
