The Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge has an interesting history, originally employed for vehicular traffic using what was then a design (concrete truss) unusual in large spans. In the 1990s, due to severe structural issues, the bridge was expensively refurbished for pedestrian use, only, with features that include elevators and dramatic lighting effects. During the refit, it was named in honor of local journalist John Seigenthaler. Famous for his vocal support of First Amendment rights, he was injured by thugs during the Freedom March. That's just a quick summary. I would encourage you to Google both topics for more information. .
