State Hwy 109 Gateway Bridge - Gallatin, TN
The new State Highway 109 Gateway Bridge, crossing the Cumberland River between Interstate 40 and Gallatin, Tennesse, opened to public traffic on March 22, 2014 at 7:30am.  The new bridge is a composite deck slab bridge with precast, prestressed 72&quot; bulb-tee beams and welded steel girders. It will have four lanes, eight piers, and be 1,616 feet long.  Also included are decorative columns and a 16-foot high monument with the Sumner County and Gallatin seal on the northern side and the Wilson County seal on the southern side of the structure.  It replaced the early 1950’s style truss bridge, which was showing signs of aging and listed as structurally deficient.  The truss bridge was demo'd later in 2014.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image.  Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

&quot;For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&quot;  ~Jeremiah 29:11
