Tellico Plains, TN (WOKI) Visitors to the Cherokee National Forest just outside of Tellico will soon be able to enjoy a major hot spot for waterfall watchers.
Bald River Falls Bridge reopens, officially, Friday, May 30 after a years-long renovation.
In October of 2023, crews closed the bridge to overhaul it completely, even adding a platform for safe waterfall viewing. The renovation has involved the complete disassembly and rebuilding of the bridge, which was nearing 100 years old.
Area leaders held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new bridge Thursday, May 29.
