Flatrock River 600N Bridge
This bridge was built in 1904 by the Converse Bridge Company of Chattanooga, Tenn.
Mr. Converse had a working relationship with the Pan American Bridge Co. of New Castle (He would eventually become the head engineer for Pan Am), and the trusses for this bridge may have been manufactured by them. It remains closed with an uncertain future.
