Did you know that TDOT historians work to save historic bridges on the state’s roadway network?  Tammy Sellers, a historian with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, will discuss historic bridge preservation in Tennessee by telling the stories of several of the historic bridges throughout the state that have been preserved by TDOT.  These preservation successes range from the only Baltimore-Petit Truss bridge remaining in the southeast to an early concrete arch bridge built by the state highway department.  Learn the stories of these bridges and the efforts TDOT has made in preserving these unique pieces of history that we drive over daily.
