The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, formerly known as the Shelby Street Bridge, is a historic truss bridge spanning the Cumberland River in Nashville, Tennessee. Opened on July 5, 1909, it was the first bridge in North America to feature concrete arched trusses. It transformed into a pedestrian bridge and reopened on August 3, 2003. Eleven years later, it was renamed to honor journalist and civil rights advocate John Seigenthaler. Today, the bridge is part of the Metro Nashville Greenway system, offering pedestrians and cyclists expansive views of the city and access to spots around the city.
