LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – This Throwback Thursday takes us back to 1956 and a look at the new Aspen Street Bridge just after it was completed. The bridge, spanning Big Creek at North Indiana Avenue, lasted for 50 years.

The city replaced it with the current bridge in 2006.  Some of the people in the picture include Mayor R.C. ( Curt ) Alley, Dr. Roscoe C. Pryse, Harrison Parrott, W.H. “Wheeler” Hollingsworth and Frank Lobertini. (In the back ground left to right) are Mack Luttrell’s Welding Shop, C. A. (Shan) Mills Garage and Lusby’s Laundry & Cleaners with the delivery van parked beside the building. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 12/09/2021-6AM-PHOTO COURTESY OF WLAF’S CHARLIE HUTSON)
