they temporary bridge was quickly built by locals and volunteers in Northeastern Tennessee for crossing the river bed after the real bridge was destroyed during flooding from Hurricane Helene
three flatbed trailers placed parallel, because they are easy to install and remove, and the load rating of a semi trailer is a known quantity!
because locals still need supplies, whether it be food, building materials, or what have you, and when there’s only one way in and out of town, they have to do all they can to keep it open.
Being from Tennessee and having spent every summer till I was 18 I am well familiar with that part of state and western North Carolina. Those winding low water rivers always fascinating then and now. Very crafty people that can pretty much take care of themselves and really have little trust in the Federal Government to get anything done. I doubt that will ever change and understand completely.
People are really ingenious when they need to be. Great job!
