The Marion Memorial Bridge is a 4-span metal truss bridge in Marion County, Tennessee. It was built in 1929. The main span is 369 feet, and the bridge has a total length of 1870 feet. The bridge is currently slated for replacement. This bridge crosses the Tennessee River and Nickajack Lake.
This bridge was built before Nickajack Dam, a few miles downriver. The higher mean pool of the new reservoir was reason for the bridge to be raised from its original height.
