Preservation Construction on Walnut Street Bridge

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF)- More construction has hit the scenic city, but instead of road work, this time it’s a preservation effort.

The historic Walnut Street Bridge is getting its routine maintenance.

This is to extend the life of the landmark.

These repairs will include foundation and pier repairs, steel repairs, and wooden deck repairs.

The project is expected to be completed in June of next year.

The public should be careful as the rehabilitation work is performed.
