R.I.P. Piedmont Footbridge; 1888-2020
Built by the Piedmont Manufacturing Company in 1888 to connect the mills on either side of the Saluda River. Despite talk by Greenville and Anderson County about doing something to stabilize and restore the bridge, nothing was ever done, and on February 5, 2020, the bridge was knocked off the top of the dam by floodwaters from the heavy rain that day.
