(KNOXVILLE, Tenn.) SMOKIES.LIVE – The City of Knoxville said an iconic part of a popular greenway has been rebuilt and ready to serve guests again.
Knoxville Public Service Department rebuilt the Third Creek Greenway Zig Zag Bridge with reopening on Friday, April 3, 2026.
“This is a significant rebuild,” says Alison Bullock, the City’s Parks and Greenways Coordinator. “Parts of the original bridge were rotten and in bad shape – there was even a large hole. So the crew took it down to the 8-by-8-foot posts. All they kept was the metal railing. Public Service did an amazing job.”
The city said the bridge is practically brand new with the slick shingles being replaced with treads for improved traction during wet weather.
