Howard Bridge in Knox County in Danger of Collapse



Photo: 2004 rj
The spring high waters have apparently damaged the center pier holding the remaining span of the Howard Bridge and it is in danger of collapse. We have word that Mt. Vernon is considering moving the bridge to Foundation Park to save it. This is an old (1872) double intersect Pratt bridge on the NRHP and should be saved if possible.
