About the Business
The Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge, located in Franklin, Tennessee, is a popular tourist attraction known for its stunning Double Arch Bridge spanning Birdsong Hollow. This impressive structure, completed in 1995, stretches 1,572 feet across the valley and was the first concrete, double-arch, segmentally-constructed bridge in the United States. Visitors can stop at the Birdsong Hollow stop on the Natchez Trace Parkway to admire the bridge, with the best views available in the evening when the sun illuminates it from the west. Alternatively, a visit in the morning offers a different perspective from below, although telephone poles and wires may obstruct the view. The bridge, also known as the Birdsong Hollow Bridge or the Natchez Trace Parkway Arch Bridge, was designed by the same team behind the iconic Linn Cove Viaduct on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Don't miss the chance to capture this architectural marvel at one of its many angles at the Birdsong Hollow stop.

"What a beautiful bridge to start or end your adventures along the Natchez Trace Parkway, so much history to see and learn. I highly recommend getting a parkway map at one of the main visitor centers they have detailed mile descriptions, describing where and what everything is, even * next to the “Must See”. It took us three days to Finish the entire route, there’s a lot of great camping RV sites available all throughout the trace without having to leave it. Although I do not recommend the Mississippi State parks, no offense, but they could be a lot cleaner better maintained, however they will work if need be. We found all of the Natchez Trace Parkway RV campsites the several locations we stayed at to be wonderful, somewhat spaced out, plug-ins for RVs, dump stations. As I said, I recommend passing up the state parks, particularly in Mississippi they’re missing a few things. Please don’t expect any nice showers or bathhouses/bathrooms. The one we stayed at was very dirty, did not have any nice restrooms or showers, no paper towels. I would highly recommend staying along the Natchez trace Parkway Camping RV sites, which are many. Any questions just ask."
"If it wasn't such a hotspot for heartache this would be a fantastic place to gather my thoughts. Took a long time to realize how lucky I was growing up right down the road. And if someone's looking distressed pls do something. I've lost a few friends and acquaintances here."
"If you are a motorcyclists or bicyclist this should be on your list of places to visit. There are three free campsites, one at each end and one in the middle. The road starts in Nashville, runs through Tupelo and Jackson, MS and ends in Natchez, MS. Its 444 Miles of ....well, a park. No stop signs, stop lights, no billboards, no commercial enterprises of any kind (not a store or a gas station). The speed limit does not exceed 50 for the entire parkway. Plus, it is built like an Interstate with on ramps and overpasses so you never have to stop for anything unless you want to...and you will. There are dozens and dozens of things to see and do along the way. We LOVE it. Oh, and Elvis fans? You can visit Elvis birthplace home in Tupelo, and even enjoy a southern baptist church meeting the way Elvis might have."
"While I understand the need, the new protection fence is prison grade. It absolutely takes away from the experience. Pro tip: if you put your hands just under the bottom of the fence you can snap unobstructed photos."
"Such a beautiful ride on this road. We only went for about a half hour but crossed the bridge on and under, and it was awesome to see!"
