The Cordell Hull Bridge is a bridge over the Cumberland River in Carthage, Tennessee, USA.[2][3][4]

History

The bridge was built by the Vincennes Bridge Company. Surveys began in 1933, construction started in December 1934, and the bridge was opened to traffic on May 14, 1936.[3] It was named after Cordell Hull, who served as the 47th United States Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944.[4] It was restored in the 2010s, and rededicated on July 2, 2012.[4]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 20, 2009.[3]
