The Twin Bridges Historic District is an area surrounding two closed-spandrel, concrete-deck bridges completed in 1922 by the Luten Bridge Company. These bridges are located on County Route 3412 and former County Route 11. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 7, 1994.

Style

The two bridges are both single-span, closed spandrel concrete deck bridges. Formerly both on the winding County Route 11, the route was straightened in 1955 and has now bypassed these bridges on a new concrete facility.

Construction

By order of the county judge, local residents were to construct the approaches of the bridges by themselves to spare expense to the county. The Luten Bridge Company of Knoxville, Tennessee was contracted for the work and for eleven other bridges in the county.^[2]
