The Henley Bridge (Knox County, Tennessee)

Work finally began on September 30, 1930, with Pittsburgh contractor Booth and Flinn overseeing construction.

[5] From 1987-2015, the bridge was also the primary fireworks launching area during Knoxville's annual Boomsday celebration.

[8][9] The project was plagued with delays, most notably when two workers were killed in two separate incidents on the construction site.

Britton Bridge LLC, the project's contractor, was fined and the construction progress was halted for two weeks by TDOT.

[10] There were also several previously undetected deficiencies in the bridge's structure that lagged progress and increased cost.

[12] Contractors will finish paving work, striping and lighting improvements, with a final completion date of June 2014.
