McBee Rainbow Bridge in the rain (Ferry Landing View) - Mascot, TN

            The 1931 McBee Bridge (also known as the Rainbow Bridge) carries the road which connects the towns of Mascot and Strawberry Plains (near Knoxville) crossing the Holston River.  It is the only Rainbow Bridge in Tennessee, being an all concrete, open-spandrel, through arch.

Other than driving over it, there are two spots to get a view, first is at the old McBee Ferry Landing which is now a park and boat ramp.  Next is from the road which parallels the river from the north side.

As it turns out, there was a a short-lasting but heavy rain storm which passed through while I was here.  This rain created a rainbow to the west while I was here, however, there are no vantage spots to the east, so I couldn't get the rainbow and its namesake bridge in the shot at the same time.
