What sets this view apart is the arch itself: a concrete span carrying one roadway over another, which let traffic on the Natchez Trace Parkway pass without crossing. The parkway, which runs about 440 miles from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee, was begun in the 1930s under federal programs and the National Park Service, and its bridges were designed to sit quietly in the wooded landscape. Concrete arches like this one reflect that approach, favoring durable, low-profile structures that follow the road's rolling course through the hills.
