Getting some of that sweet grant funding. Thank goodness for the largess of the federal government!

I used to walk across the old railroad bridge. This looks to be a bit safer.

It was even more fun carrying a mountain bike.

In a surprising nod to a former Vols FB head coach, it will be named "The Bridge to Now here", or just "Opportunity".

Wait - will the bridge be built with brick? You know, brick by brick??????

Whoa, you got some big brass balls to do that.

Sure, but how many of you jumped off the train bridge into the river during your college days?

Autonomous water taxis were proposed a couple years ago but didn't catch on.

World’s first self-driving taxi stalls out in Knoxville

More than a year ago, a company said it was launching an exciting new form of transportation in Knoxville: the first solar-powered, self-driving water taxi that would ferry riders across the Tennessee River between the south waterfront and Vol Landing. While the Greycraft water taxi from artificial intelligence startup Buffalo Automation is here in town and ready to transport riders, the ferry’s use has been stalled. “What seems to be a challenge that we’re working on is trying to find a commercial entity or a nonprofit or anybody who would be responsible for the boat: Own it. Operate it,” Buffalo Automation CEO Thiru Vikram told Knox News.
