  • Harahan Bridge
    Historic Bridge Foundation Facebook Archives Focus Bridges: Harahan Bridge November 2016 In October 2016, Memphis Tennessee became home to one of the most impressive examples of adaptive reuse of a historic bridge in the country, when it completed conversion of a long-abandoned highway deck on the historic Harahan Bridge into a new pedestrian walkway. The location of this adaptive reuse is unique and has an interesting history as well. Crossing the Mississippi River between Memphis and the state of Arkansas are two historic railroad truss bridges of cantilever design. Sitting directly beside each other, these two bridges are immediately north of a third parallel cantilever truss bridge carrying highway traffic. Together these three bridges show a unique evolution of bridge design. The oldest bridge is the Frisco Bridge, designed by one of the most important 19th century bridge engineers, George S. Morison. This bridge was completed in 1892 and was noted for its size and design. In 1916, a second railroad bridge called the Harahan Bridge was completed immediately to the north. Designed by one of the most important 20th century bridge engineers, Ralph Modjeski, this bridge creates a unique opportunity to compare masterpiece works by two famous bridge engineers. It is also of interest to note that when the Frisco Bridge was built, Modjeski was in the earlier years of his career and was in fact working for Morison on the Frisco Bridge as an assistant engineer. The Harahan Bridge had an additional notable feature in that decks cantilevered out from the truss lines accommodated vehicular traffic in addition to the railroad tracks in between the truss lines.
