Decided to take a quick trip to Nashville to do some photography with my new camera. I had been there before but my skills were not up to my present level. It was recommended via the Internet to go to this bridge and take shots from there. So these are the shots I got on a very great morning for photography where the sky was pure blue and the sun was out but not too strong and the temperature is comfortable. The bridge actually connects downtown Nashville to the Nissan football stadium on the other side of the river. It is strictly for pedestrians. There is Nissan Stadium parking which gives you quick access to the bridge which is free if there are no Stadium activities. However one parking lot is restricted and you will be towed away unless you have one of those Stadium passes. For those who may have walking difficulty there is an elevator from the parking lot that will take you up to the top of the roadbed of the bridge. this bridge as you can tell from my photograph gives you a quick and clear advantage point to photographing and viewing downtown Nashville as well as the stadium which is on the right side behind me.

Epic bridge . check out during the day. Best view of city plus the 2022 super bowl champion the TENNESSEE TITANS stadium is in perfect view. Ok so I was a year off....I meant this year 2023 champions. This bridge empties out right in the center of the city or in a park like Setting on the Tennessee titanside The Cumberland river is what's underneath this bridge it's true and if you have a chance grab a boat ride drink some beer While experiencing what Tom Sawyer and huckleberry experienced in the wild Tennessee Back country I'm painting Tennessee all the time.... get In touched with me for original work

Got an evening to kill in Nashville? Could use a walk? Want to feel some cool breeze in your hair? Well, this is the place for you. Just when the hustle and bustle of Nashville begins to wane into the distance and the lights fade, you come upon this historic bridge. Walk across it. There's no traffic. By the time you get to the middle of the bridge, its pretty peaceful and windy. So stand back and watch the Cumberland go. Every now and then, a ferry will go past. Some with music and dance. And as you follow the boat, you will yet gaze upon the city of Nashville - tall, proud and gorgeous.

This was a cool little walk across the river. I didn't intend to walk the bridge when I went downtown, but decided to on a lark. The start of the walk can be steep if you come up from the road, but there are some stairs and an elevator that starts you a little further up the bridge. There are some awesome views of the river and Nashville skyline from the middle of the bridge. Its is probably not something I will do every time I am in downtown, but if I am just wandering around, I am sure I will find myself walking it.

This is a nice bridge with great views of the city. It has a bit of an elevation in case you have trouble walking, but there are elevators at both ends for anyone to enjoy the view. The elevator closest to the city was nasty though. The floor was soaked with urine and it smelled horrific. There was no rain the whole week we were there. It was definitely urine. I wanted to gag. If it wasn't for that, I would have given it 5 stars. There are bikes and scooters you can rent there, as like everywhere around the city.

It’s a bridge for pedestrians. Great views, excellent means to get from Nissan Stadium to Broadway but the stench of feces and urine when you get to the garbage strewn homeless camp is gut wrenching. The elevator has poo and urine in it. Here’s the breakdown: Great idea and views +5 stars; stink of feces and urine (in 60 degree temps - I cannot imagine the odor when it’s 90 degrees) -2 stars. Please Nashville - don’t become San Francisco or L.A.
