Victory Bridge (Florida)

The **Victory Bridge** carries U.S. Route 90 (US 90) over the floodplain of the Apalachicola River in the Florida Panhandle, immediately below the Jim Woodruff Dam. It was originally built by the Masters and Mullen Construction Company out of Cleveland (Henry C. Masters and Claude F. Mullen). The original Victory Bridge, completed in 1922 at a cost of $1 million USD, is no longer used, having been replaced in 1994-1996 by a high-level bridge slightly upstream that carries the same name.
World War II Veterans Memorial Bridge (Virginia)

**World War II Veterans Memorial Bridge** is a twin-span 3,642-foot-long (1,110 m) bridge which carries State Route 288 across the James River between Powhatan County and Goochland County in Virginia.[1] State Route 288 forms a semi-circumferential beltway around the southwestern quadrant of the Richmond metropolitan area connecting with Interstate 95 on the southern end and Interstate 64 on the northern end.

The Virginia General Assembly proposed and passed the naming of the World War II Veterans Memorial Bridge in 2003.[2] The Bridge was completed in 2004, and is owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
Saco River Bridge

The **Saco River Bridge** is a steel stringer bridge that carries the Maine Turnpike (Interstate 95) over the Saco River in Saco, Maine. The bridge is one of four significant bridges along Interstate 95 in Maine and is one of two significant bridges along the southern tolled section of I-95 between York and Augusta known as the Maine Turnpike. The Saco River Bridge is also the southernmost significant bridge located entirely in Maine, as the next bridge to the south on I-95 is the Piscataqua River Bridge which crosses between Maine & New Hampshire.

The Saco River Bridge originally opened in 1947. In 2018, the Maine Turnpike Authority significantly rehabilitated the bridge as part of a massive infrastructure revitalization project across the state, done in conjunction with the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT). This project repaired or replaced all of the major bridges along I-95, including the Saco River Bridge, along with the Androscoggin River Bridge, Kennebec River Bridge, and Penobscot River Bridge to the north. However, since the Saco River Bridge did not require a complete superstructure replacement, the bridge never had to be closed to traffic entirely.

While the Saco River Bridge itself does not have any independent toll facilities, the bridge is part of the tolled Maine Turnpike and therefore it is not possible to cross the bridge without paying at least one small toll on the turnpike. Toll rates for vehicles crossing the bridge vary from anywhere between $1.00 and $2.50 depending on the vehicle’s point of entry to the turnpike.
Woonasquatucket River

The **Woonasquatucket River** is a river in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It flows approximately 15.8 miles and drains a watershed of 50 sq mi.

The river begins in the swamps west of Primrose Pond in North Smithfield and runs southeast past Primrose Pond to Stillwater Reservoir. Below the reservoir, the river continues southeast, providing water to numerous ponds, until going under Providence Place mall and joining the Moshassuck River in front of the One Citizens Plaza building in downtown Providence to form the Providence River. The lower part of the river, below Rising Sun Dam in Olneyville is tidal.

East of Interstate 95, the Woonasquatucket's original riverbed no longer exists and it has been diverted into a man-made channel underneath Providence Place Mall and through Waterplace Park. In Waterplace Park, the Woonasquatucket River is also used as part of Waterfire.

## Providence Place Mall

The Providence Place Mall, the largest shopping center in the state, was constructed on top of the former Woonasquatucket River. Therefore, the Mall is sometimes referred to as having been constructed on water and containing a series of “floating buildings”. However, this is not entirely accurate, as when the mall was constructed, part of the Woonasquatucket River was filled in and replaced by a manmade canal flowing between the Mall buildings. As such, although the mall is not officially built on the river, due to the presence of the canal flowing between the buildings and the river flowing around the mall to the east, several large pedestrian footbridges span the canal and the river to connect the multiple buildings of the mall.

## Crossings

The Woonasquatucket River is spanned by numerous small bridges, many of which are concrete arch bridges, along its upper course. However, the only significant crossing of the river that is located within an Interstate highway corridor is the Woonasquatucket River Bridge, which is a complex of multiple parallel and stacked bridges. The primary structures carry I-95, while adjacent structures carry ramps from I-95 to US-6 and vise versa. Additionally, two of the footbridges of Providence Place and one vehicular bridge used to access Providence Place are also considered to be part of the bridge complex.
Snake Creek Bridge

**Snake Creek Bridge** is a bascule bridge in the village of Islamorada in the Florida Keys. The single-leaf steel bascule bridge carries the Overseas Highway (U.S. 1) over Snake Creek, connecting Plantation Key and Windley Key. It is located near mile marker 86.

The bridge was completed in 1981 when a number of new bridges were being built to modernize the Overseas Highway. It is the third bridge that has existed at this location. The first bridge, which carried the Overseas Railroad, was built in the early 1900s. A second bridge built in the 1920s next to the railroad bridge carried the first Overseas Highway (State Road 4A), though the highway would later be shifted to railroad bridge in the 1940s, which was retrofitted for automobile use.

The Snake Creek Bridge is notable for being the only remaining drawbridge operating in the Florida Keys. It gained this distinction in the late 2000s, when the Overseas Highway's drawbridge over Jewfish Creek was replaced by the current Jewfish Creek Bridge in 2008, and the closure and abandonment of the Boot Key Harbor drawbridge in Marathon in 2009.
Thomas A. Edison Memorial Bridge

The Thomas A. Edison Memorial Bridge, otherwise known as the Edison Bridge, carries Ohio State Routes 2 and 269 over Sandusky Bay. The bridge, which is 2,049 feet (625 m) in length, was completed in 1965. It was named for inventor and nearby Milan native Thomas Edison.

## Predecessor

The Edison Bridge replaced the Bay Bridge, a lift bridge which was dedicated on February 2, 1929. The Bay Bridge was initially a private bridge maintained by the Sandusky Bay Bridge Company, which charged a 50-cent toll; the Ohio Department of Highways bought it for $1,795,000, at first lowering the toll to 25 cents then abolishing it on August 30, 1946. The Ohio Department of Transportation closed the lift span on April 19,[original research?] 1985 after an inspection which predicted a collapse due to its own weight; it formally abandoned the span in April 1986 and subsequently removed it in May 1989,[original research?] converting its approaches to fishing piers.
Sergeant Carl F. Curran II Bridge

The **Sergeant Carl F. Curran II Bridge** is a girder bridge connecting East Brady and Brady's Bend Township, Pennsylvania. The structure was completed in 2007 to replace a narrow 1885 truss bridge that had been reconstructed twice (in 1953 and 1974). The replacement span was built as part of ongoing improvements to Route 68.

The structure's namesake is a member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard who was killed in Iraq in 2004. Curran grew up just blocks from the bridge's location.

## History

The 2007 bridge replaced a truss bridge built in 1885. The 1885 bridge was demolished at just after 10:00 on June 4, 2007 by Demtech of Dubois, Wyoming. using just under 66 pounds (30 kg) of RDX.[1]
St. George Island Bridge

The 4 mile (6.4 km) **St. George Island Bridge** (officially named the **Bryant Patton Memorial Bridge** and designated **State Road 300** from end to end, plus approaches) was built in 2002 (completed in 2004) when the two original bridges (cut by an island in the middle) that led to St. George Island, a small resort community 10 miles (16 km) from Apalachicola, Florida, were deemed unsafe due to their old age. The original bridges opened in 1965; prior to that, visitors used a ferry to get to the island. The new bridge, by bypassing the middle island, became the 3rd-longest bridge in Florida. The north end of SR 300 is at US 98 (SR 30) in Eastpoint. It was opened on February 27, 2004.[2]

Initially, the bridge was designated **State Road G1A** by the Florida Department of Transportation while Gulf Beach Drive on the island east of the bridge was given the SR 300 designation. Later, the bridge and Gulf Beach Drive were both SR 300. More recently, Gulf Beach Drive lost its State Road designation, leaving only the St. George Island Bridge with the SR 300 designation. The eastern half of Gulf Beach Drive is now **County Road 300**.

"State Road G1A" was an analogue on the Gulf of Mexico to SR A1A on the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of two x00 routes to not follow the numbering system - the other is SR 800, a short connection over the Intracoastal Waterway in Boca Raton. All other x00 routes are major cross-state diagonals.
Veterans Memorial Bridge (Steubenville, Ohio)

The **Veterans Memorial Bridge**, also known as the New Steubenville Bridge, is a cable-stayed bridge which carries U.S. Route 22 across the Ohio River between Steubenville, Ohio and Weirton, West Virginia. The bridge replaced the Fort Steuben Bridge, which was built in 1928.

## History

Planning for the bridge began in 1961 in Ohio and in 1964 in West Virginia. The bridge's construction was approved by the Federal Highway Administration in 1978. Construction began in 1979, and the bridge opened on May 1, 1990. The final cost of the bridge was $70 million
Saco River

The **Saco River** is a river in northeastern New Hampshire and southwestern Maine in the United States. It drains a rural area of 1,703 square miles of forests and farmlands west and southwest of Portland, emptying into the Atlantic Ocean at Saco Bay, 136 miles from its source.

The river rises at Saco Lake in Crawford Notch in the White Mountains and flows generally south-southeast through Bartlett and Conway in Carroll County, New Hampshire before crossing into Oxford County, Maine.

Shortly after entering Fryeburg, Maine, the river branches into the "Old Course" Saco River and the more commonly used "Canal River". Constructed in the 1800s to be more convenient for farmers, the 6-mile long canal is 15 miles shorter than the old course and is now considered to be the official course for the river, as the upstream end of the old course is largely silted over. The two channels merge again near Lovell, Maine.

After running through six hydropower stations operated by NextEra Energy Resources (including Skelton Dam and Bonny Eagle Dam), the river enters York County, passes between Saco and Biddeford, and enters Saco Bay on the Atlantic with Camp Ellis in Saco on the north shore and Hills Beach in Biddeford on the south shore.

## Bridges

Several historic wooden covered bridges cross the Saco River in the rural New Hampshire woods close to its source. Additionally, several truss bridges cross (or once crossed) the Saco River in Maine, although many of these bridges have either been destroyed by flooding or demolished following severe flooding damage. The truss bridge across the river built on top of the Bonny Eagle Dam remains intact and significant. The Saco River Bridge in York County carries the Maine Turnpike (Interstate 95) over the river.
St. Louis Bay Bridge

The **St. Louis Bay Bridge** is a bridge in the U.S. state of Mississippi which carries U.S. Route 90 over Bay of Saint Louis between Bay St. Louis and Pass Christian. The original bridge was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The bridge's deck and railroad tracks were ruined, but the piers withstood the storm surge and winds and provided a base for a new concrete deck.[2] The new bridge opened to traffic on May 17, 2007. The span carries 4 lanes of traffic as well as a 12-foot (3.7 m) path for pedestrians and bicyclists on the Gulf side of the bridge.
Thames River

The **Thames River** is a short river and tidal estuary in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It flows south for 15 miles through eastern Connecticut from the junction of the Yantic and Shetucket rivers at Norwich, to New London and Groton, which flank its mouth at Long Island Sound. The Thames River watershed includes a number of smaller basins and the 80-mile-long Quinebaug River, which rises in southern Massachusetts and joins the Shetucket River about four miles northeast of Norwich.

## Bridges

The Thames River is spanned by two vehicular and one railroad bridge. However, the only notable bridge is the Gold Star Memorial Bridge on the Connecticut Turnpike. The railroad bridge carries AMTRAK tracks and is a traditional through truss vertical-lift bridge. The second highway bridge is located upstream near the source and is a traditional girder bridge. However, the Gold Star Memorial Bridge is a twin-span deck truss bridge, and the two spans do not follow the exact same truss configuration.
Tri-County Veterans Bridge

The **Tri-County Veterans Bridge** located in Tennessee, carries Tennessee State Route 60 over Chickamauga Lake on the Tennessee River. It connects Meigs and Rhea counties just north of Hamilton County. It is located just south of the confluence of the Tennessee and Hiwassee River as well as Hiwassee Island near descending river mile 500. It replaced Blythe Ferry upon its completion in 1994.[1]
South Washington Street Bridge

The **South Washington Street Bridge** is a steel girder bridge over the Mohawk River in Herkimer, New York. The bridge is located within a 1/4 mile of the New York Thruway (Interstate 90) therefore is considered to be in within the I-90 corridor.

The South Washington Street Bridge originally opened in 1954 as a haunched deck plate girder bridge. However, in spring of 1994, the bridge was severely damaged by flooding resulting from an unusually snowy winter. Following the floods, the original piers of the bridge were salvaged, but the superstructure was completely replaced. This resulted in the multi-beam girder bridge seen today. Due to its physical appearance, the bridge is sometimes incorrectly classified as a stringer bridge.

Although the new superstructure was a rustic olive green color like the original, the girders were painted a light brick red in order to blend in more with its surroundings. With the paint color, the bridge creates a beautiful landscape scene, especially with a reflection in the water at sunrise or sunset. Additionally, during autumn when the leaves have changed color, the bridge blends in more with this landscape than its predecessor did.

Vermillion–Newcastle Bridge

The **Vermillion–Newcastle Bridge** is a Nebraska and South Dakota Border crossing of the Missouri River. It joins Nebraska Highway 15 to South Dakota Highway 19.

The Dedication Ceremony was held on November 10, 2001.[1] The dedication ceremonies were held on the Nebraska side of the bridge at the overlook.

The bridge crosses the Missouri National Recreational River, a unit of the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS maintains the Mulberry Bend Overlook on the Nebraska side of the bridge with scenic overlooks and a 3/4 mile trail along the Missouri River.
Ysleta–Zaragoza International Bridge

The **Ysleta–Zaragoza International Bridge** is an international crossing over the Rio Grande River, connecting the United States-Mexico border cities of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. The bridge is also known as "Zaragoza Bridge", "Puente Zaragoza" and "Puente Ysleta-Zaragoza".

## Description

The Ysleta–Zaragoza International Bridge consists of two four-lane bridges. One is for commercial traffic only and the other, also bearing two pedestrian walkways, is for private vehicles. The bridge was built in 1938 and reconstructed in 1955. The present bridge was completed in 1990. The American side of the bridge is owned and operated by the City of El Paso.

## Border crossing

Main article: El Paso Ysleta Port of Entry

The El Paso Ysleta Port of Entry was established in 1938 when the first bridge was built at this location. The current border inspection station was constructed along with the 1990 bridge reconstruction.
St. Johns River

The **St. Johns River**, often mislabeled **St. John’s River** is the longest river in the U.S. state of Florida and its most significant one for commercial and recreational use. At 310 miles long, it winds through or borders twelve counties, three of which are the state's largest. The drop in elevation from headwaters to mouth is less than 30 feet; like most Florida waterways, the St. Johns has a very low flow rate 0.3 mph and is often described as "lazy". Numerous lakes are formed by the river or flow into it, but as a river its widest point is nearly 3 miles across. The narrowest point is in the headwaters, an unnavigable marsh in Indian River County. The St. Johns drainage basin of 8,840 square miles includes some of Florida's major wetlands.

## Bridges

Several significant bridges cross the St. Johns River, particularly along the northern section of the river between Jacksonville and Palatka, where the river is actually a wide estuary that has been compared to a lake. The cable-stayed Dames Point Bridge carries the eastern loop of the Jacksonville Beltway and was the first bridge in the United States to be constructed of entirely concrete. The John E. Mathews Bridge and the Isaiah D. Hart Bridge carry expressway spurs around and into downtown, respectively, with the former having been a toll bridge until 2011. The John T. Alsop Jr. Bridge is a well-known vertical-lift bridge along downtown Jacksonville’s Main Street. The Acosta Bridge, just recently replaced, carries the original alignment of I-95 before said highway was rerouted onto the Fuller Warren Bridge and around the most central area of the downtown district. The Henry H. Buckman Bridge carries the southwestern loop of the Jacksonville Beltway and is the longest bridge on the river, crossing at the river’s widest point (2.7 miles wide). The Shands Bridge, located south of Jacksonville, is a privately-owned toll bridge noted for its moveable span technology.
United States Navy Seabees Bridge

The **United States Navy Seabees Bridge** is a through-steel two-hinged arch bridge over the Connecticut River located between Brattleboro, Vermont, and Chesterfield, New Hampshire. It carries the Franklin Pierce Highway, New Hampshire Route 9, which connects to Vermont Route 9 on the Vermont side.[1] It runs parallel to the **Justice Harlan Fiske Stone Bridge** which it replaced, but which has been retained as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge.

## History and construction

In 1888, a suspension bridge was built over the Connecticut River between Brattleboro and Chesterfield. It lasted until 1936, when it was heavily damaged by a flood. Divers have confirmed that pieces of the old bridge still lie on the riverbed under the current bridges.

In 1937, a steel arch bridge was constructed as a replacement. That same year, it received from the American Institute of Steel Construction the "Annual Award for Merit for Most Beautiful Steel Bridge, Class C".

In 2003 a new steel arch bridge was built, because of concerns about the safety of the old bridge. The new bridge was built for heavier loads. It has a wider deck, more overhead clearance, and utilizes suspender cables instead of thin suspender beams. The old bridge was retained as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge, and in 2010 was named by the State of New Hampshire for the former Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Harlan Fiske Stone, who was born in Chesterfield.
Robert C. Byrd Bridge

The **Robert C. Byrd Bridge** is a 720-foot (220 m) continuous truss bridge that crosses the Ohio River between Huntington, West Virginia and Chesapeake, Ohio. The crossing was constructed to replace an old, narrow, two-lane structure that was demolished after 69 years of service in a spectacular implosion on July 17, 1995. The previous bridge, opened in 1926, was Huntington's first bridge across the Ohio River and was designed in a gothic style, complete with four two-ton spires that rested on top of each peak.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the four-lane bridge was held on April 30, 1991. James Watkins, of the Ohio Department of Transportation, stated that the importance of the new four-lane span would only be heightened by the construction of the Chesapeake-Proctorville State Route 7 bypass that would "begin in 1996." Work on the bypass did not begin until 2000.

The old 6th Street Bridge closed in the summer of 1993 to allow for the construction of the ramps and approaches in West Virginia and Ohio. The new bridge was named the Robert C. Byrd Bridge under an executive order from former Governor Gaston Caperton to honor the U.S. senator from West Virginia, who is credited with obtaining the funding for the project that was completed on November 6, 1994. The $32.6 million bridge was constructed with $1.4 coming from Ohio, $5.6 coming from West Virginia, and $25.3 in federal funds.

The famous spires which once adorned the top of the former span were saved. One is currently on display outside of the Chesapeake city hall at the intersection of State Route 7 and the Robert C. Byrd Bridge. Two others are installed along 9th Street between 3rd and 5th Avenues.
Trammell Bridge

The **Trammell Bridge** is 1.6 miles (2.6 km) long and carries State Road 20 over the Apalachicola River in the Florida Panhandle between Blountstown and Bristol. It is named for three members of the Trammell family: (1) U.S. Senator from Florida and former governor Park M. Trammell, who died in office in 1936; (2) his brother, John D. Trammell, member of the Florida legislature representing Calhoun County (Blountstown) who introduced the bill to construct the original bridge; and (3) Robert D. Trammell, John Trammell's grandson who represented the area in the Florida legislature and secured funding for the new bridge.

The westbound and eastbound lanes of SR 20 are on separate spans. The westbound span is the original, older bridge (opened in 1938) and the eastbound span is a modern, concrete high-rise bridge (opened in 1998).

The original bridge (westbound) was built of steel and concrete piers by the Wisconsin Iron and Bridge Company. In 1989, the original span was listed in *A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture*, published by the University of Florida Press.

The Eastern end of the bridge is in the Eastern Time zone, while the Western end is in the Central Time zone.
University Bridge (St. Cloud)

**University Bridge** is a concrete girder bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. Built in 1985 and designed by Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff, it is the second-newest bridge in St. Cloud, after Granite City Crossing. It is named for its proximity to St. Cloud State University. To accommodate bikers and walkers, the bridge has an approach ramp on one side and steps on the other side. For decoration, a scrollwork pattern is cut into the approach walls' concrete, and the piers are a curved "V" shape.

The previous bridge at this structure, built in 1892, was a through-truss bridge.
Wilson Creek Bridge

The **Wilson Creek Bridge** (also known as the Smart Road Bridge) is the second tallest bridge in Virginia at 175 feet (53 m) tall, the tallest being the US-460 Corridor Q bridge over Grassy Creek and Virginia State Route 610 between Pike County and Buchanan County at 225 feet (69 m) tall.[1]

The Wilson Creek Bridge is located in Montgomery County and was built as part of the Virginia Smart Road project. It is a cast-in-place cantilever box girder bridge and extends for 1,985 feet (605 m) with three spans of 472 feet (144 m) and two spans of 283 feet (86 m).

## Construction

Construction began in August 1998. The bridge was designed by Florida-based Figg Engineering Group and built by PCL Civil Constructors Inc., a subsidiary of PCL Constructors Inc. at a cost of US$17.4 million. The bridge design is the same genre as the Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge. The bridge is composed of four double-tapered piers with stone inlay, two conventional abutments, and 100 cast-in-place segments. After review of the bridge design by the construction firm, the segments were changed from 4.5 m to 5 m segments, deleting 35 segments from the critical path of construction. The bridge was completed on May 30, 2001.

The cast-in-place structure consists of 9,647 cubic yards (7,376 m3) of concrete, 1,565,321 pounds (710,018 kg) of reinforcing steel, and 780,900 pounds (354,210 kg) of steel cables.

## Awards

In 2002, the bridge received an honorable mention in the Federal Highway Administration's Excellence in Highway Design Awards, Category 3A: Major Highway Structures Over $10 Million. The bridge also received an award that year from the Concrete Reinforced Steel Institute, the only 2002 award-winner east of the Mississippi River.

## Unique Features

The cast-in-place cantilever box girder bridge design is the only one of its kind in Virginia.

The bridge is hollow. Beneath the riding surface, the box girders are open with a width of 18 feet (5 m) and a height which varies from 12 feet (4 m) to 35 feet (11 m). Power and communication lines are carried in the hollow concrete box and run the length of the bridge. Manholes in the bridge deck allow researchers to enter the box to monitor testing equipment.

The support structure of the bridge is inlaid with Hokie Stone to blend in with the environment and meld with the architectural stylings of Virginia Tech.
Whittier Memorial Bridge

The **John Greenleaf Whittier Memorial Bridge**, commonly known as the **Whittier Memorial Bridge** or simply the **Whittier Bridge** can refer to two crossings of the Merrimack River on Interstate 95 between the towns of Newburyport and Amesbury, Massachusetts. The original bridge was a truss through arch bridge that was constructed in 1951. This bridge was demolished and replaced with a new network tied arch bridge in 2017.

## Original bridge

The original bridge was built in 1951 when the New Hampshire Extension of the Yankee Division Highway was constructed. The Yankee Division Highway, which is signed as Interstate 95, originally ended in Peabody, although the actual roadway continued east as the non-expressway MA-128 to Gloucester. This also meant that Interstate 95 in New Hampshire and Maine terminated at the junction of Interstate 495, some 3 miles over the border in Massachusetts. In the 1950’s, there was strong desire to remove this discontinuous segment of the highway and directly connect the highway between the NH-MA border and Peabody. This led to the construction of the Whittier Bridge across the Merrimack River.

Several design options for the structure were considered, including a suspension bridge, similar in design to the nearby historic Chain Bridge, which had been constructed in the 19th century. Other design options included a through arch bridge, a continuous truss bridge and a cantilever truss bridge. Ultimately, the through arch design was selected.

The bridge was completed in the fall of 1951 and was named in honor of John Greenleaf Whittier, a famous poet originally from Newburyport.

## Replacement bridge

By 2015, the Whittier Memorial Bridge had significantly deteriorated in multiple areas of the superstructure, and was carrying over twice the load that it was originally designed to carry. As such, MassDOT began a project to replace the bridge with a new, twin-span network tied arch bridge. The two bridges were to be identical in design. The first bridge was constructed next to the original bridge and opened to traffic in June 2016. Various issues caused the project to be delayed several months from June to November 2016. In January 2017, the original superstructure was demolished to make way for the twin span to be constructed in the location of the original bridge.

Several more issues have since delayed the project even further. Both bridges were originally supposed to be completed and open to traffic in December 2017, but the second bridge will likely not be open to traffic until May 2018. Currently two-way traffic is sharing the first span with two lanes each direction - once the second span opens the highway will be four lanes wide each direction.

Roosevelt Bridge (Florida)

The **Roosevelt Bridge** is a major highway segmental bridge across the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida. Carrying U.S. Route 1 (Federal Highway; unsigned State Road 5), it was built to supersede the old Roosevelt Bridge, which had twin parallel drawbridges, one for northbound traffic (opened in 1934, 27.203228°N 80.259612°W) and the other for southbound (opened in 1964, 27.202475°N 80.259762°W). The new bridge, completed in 1996, is raised and much longer than the older twin drawbridges. The southbound span of the old bridge is still functional for road and boat traffic and now carries two-way road traffic for what is now known as Dixie Highway, County Road 707. The new high-level Roosevelt Bridge is approximately one mile long and is made of two three-lane sections running parallel to each other. The northbound bridge was completed first, and housed two lanes of both north and south-bound traffic until the second bridge was finished. Because of high traffic volume and visibility, the Roosevelt Bridge is a frequent location for many protests and political campaigning in the area.[*citation needed*]

## Structural damage

On June 17, 2020, chunks of concrete fell off the bridge, causing a large crack along the southbound bridge, which put the bridge at risk of an imminent collapse. The entire bridge in both directions was closed later that day. Dixie Highway was also closed. Tolls are being temporarily waived on the Florida's Turnpike from Stuart to Port St. Lucie to help ease traffic congestion during this closure. After severe corrosion & ruptured steel tendons were found on the bridge, Mayor Mike Meier issued a local state of emergency for the city of Stuart "based upon hazardous conditions currently existing with the Roosevelt Bridge. The declaration provides for the performance of public works and taking necessary actions to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the community." As of July 5th, the northbound bridge, which can carry four lanes of car traffic (two in each direction) with a 5 ton restriction, and Dixie Highway are open. The southbound bridge remains closed. Vehicles over 5 tons are required to use alternate routes.
West Park Bridge

The **West Park Bridge** across the Sheyenne River in Valley City, North Dakota is a concrete false arch structure that was built in 2007. Together with the corresponding East Park Bridge, it brings Valley City's 4th Street across an oxbow of the Sheyenne River. The bridge is a sympathetic replacement for a historic bridge, built in 1924, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1][2]

The 1924 bridge was deemed significant as a good example of "early twentieth-century bridge design and construction philosophies in urban North Dakota", including having design emphasis on visual detail, and for its "aesthetic merit", relating to its unusual use of the false arch girder design and to its railings and lamps.[2][3]
Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge

The **Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge** is a through arch bridge which carries U.S. Route 77 across the Missouri River between Sioux City, Iowa, and South Sioux City, Nebraska.

The bridge replaced the Combination Bridge, so called because it carried both rail and highway traffic, built in 1896. The previous bridge was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1980, prior to its replacement.

The current bridge was dedicated in July 1981, and the previous one was demolished. However, in May 1982 a 32-inch (810 mm) crack was discovered in the downstream tie girder. The bridge was hurriedly closed, and measures taken to ensure that it would not collapse into the river, affecting barge traffic. Initially, it was estimated that repairs would take six days; in fact, the bridge was completely closed for seven months, and did not fully re-open to traffic until May 1983.
Wintergreen Gorge Bridge

The **Wintergreen Gorge Bridge** is a 1,114-foot (340 m), steel, plate girder bridge that carries Pennsylvania Route 290 and the Bayfront Connector over Fourmile Creek and the Wintergreen Gorge in Harborcreek Township, Erie County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It is both the second-longest and the second-highest bridge in Erie County, with the Interstate 79 bridge in the city of Erie and the Interstate 90 bridge over Sixmile Creek being the longest and the highest, respectively.[2]

## History

The Wintergreen Gorge Bridge was completed on November 1, 2003 and was opened to traffic on November 21, 2003. It cost $32 million to build.[3] The bridge was designated the **Sergeant Donald S. Oaks Memorial Bridge** on June 29, 2006 by the Pennsylvania General Assembly.[4]

## Recognition

The Wintergreen Gorge Bridge won the "Outstanding Major Bridge of 2003" award from the Association for Bridge Construction and Design.[5] The bridge also won the "Globe Award" from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' "Trailblazer Award".
Schoharie Creek Bridge

The **Schoharie Creek Bridge** is a steel stringer bridge over Schoharie Creek in Florida, New York, located in Montgomery County. The bridge opened in 1988 as a replacement for a previous deck plate girder bridge that was constructed in 1955.

The original bridge collapsed in 1987 after a flash flood washed away a portion of the bridge’s supports. The collapse resulted in the deaths of 10 people and the serious injuries of 20 others. Following the collapse, the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) joined the National Bridge Inventory (NBI), thus allowing Bridges along the Thruway to be routinely inspected by federal officials. Previously, the NYSTA was a private agency, and was therefore responsible for maintenance and inspection on all of its bridges. It was determined that the original Schoharie Creek Bridge had not been inspected properly prior to the collapse.

Given that the bridge is on the New York Thruway, which is a toll road, a toll barrier is present at the western end of the bridge. However, unlike the rest of the Thruway, the Schoharie Creek Bridge toll plaza does not operate on a closed-ticket system. All 2-axle vehicles crossing both directions are charged $1.50 for cash and $0.95 for EZ-PASS, regardless of any tickets that the driver may or may not have been holding at the time.

Woonasquatucket River Bridge

The **Woonasquatucket River Bridge** is not a single bridge but rather a complex of bridges over the Woonasquatucket River in Providence, Rhode Island. The bridge complex is comprised of multiple steel plate girder bridges that carry Interstate 95, U.S. Route 6, and flyover ramps between the two routes. An additional plate girder bridge that is much lower than the others carries an access road to the Providence Place Mall over the river and underneath the other bridges at the same time. Finally, a steel truss footbridge connects two buildings of the Providence Place Mall together. The plate girder bridges on I-95 and US-6 and the connecting ramps opened in segments throughout 1964 as I-95 was completed through Rhode Island. The other bridges were constructed along with the Providence Place Mall in 1992.

## Overview of bridges

### Interstate 95 Bridge

The Interstate 95 Bridge is a pair of identical steel plate girder bridges that share a single wide substructure (piers). Together they carry six lanes (three in each direction) of Interstate 95 over the river, running directly parallel to and at a very close height to the Providence Place footbridge. Additionally, the Interstate 95 Bridges also provide flyover ramps to and from US-6 and pass directly over the US-6 crossing of the river at this location. Because of this, sometimes the Interstate 95 and US-6 crossings are referred to as a single double-deck bridge and the Providence Place footbridge separate, however, the I-95 and US-6 bridges are technically separate and independent structures.

### US-6 Bridge

The US-6 Bridge is of similar design to the I-95 Bridge, although it is narrower at only four lanes wide (two each direction) and is only a single span. The bridge also features several flyover ramps that connect US-6 to I-95 located directly above it, as well as the local streets and mall approach roads located below it. The bridge is located at approximately 1/2 the height of the Providence Place footbridge, which is located at near-equal height to the I-95 Bridge. As noted above, sometimes the US-6 Bridge is referred to as the "lower-level" of the I-95 Bridge, but in c, they are independent structures.
Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge

The **Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge** is a segmental bascule bridge that carries the Capital Beltway over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. The current bridge opened in 2008 as a replacement for a previous bridge that was constructed in 1961.

The original bridge was a plate girder bascule bridge that had become increasingly inefficient for the amount of traffic it was carrying, for two main reasons. One, the bridge only had a vertical clearance (height) of 29 feet when lowered, meaning that the bascule span had to open frequently, thus interrupting Interstate highway traffic. Secondly, the bridge was only six lanes wide (3 each direction) and the lanes were narrow and had no shoulders.

Construction of a new bridge began in January 2005, after being delayed 4 years from 2001. The replacement span opened to northbound traffic (traffic traveling out of the downtown area) in 2006. Construction problems delayed the opening of the southbound (downtown inbound) span for 2 years until 2009. During the period of time between the opening of the two replacement spans, inbound traffic temporarily used half of the original bridge, while the other half was demolished. Neither bridge was operable during this time, thus restricting marine traffic in the Potomac River to small and medium-sized watercraft.

The design of the new bridge is sometimes misclassified as an arch bridge. However, the bridge is a concrete segmental bridge with a steel double-leaf bascule span. The bascule span is painted white, albeit a slightly different shade of white, to distinguish it from the rest of the bridge, while also maintaining a near-consistent color scheme across the entire bridge.

Veterans Memorial Bridge (Ottawa, Illinois)

The **Veterans Memorial Bridge,** also known locally as the "Illinois River Bridge", and the "Rte 23 Bridge", is a four-lane concrete-deck road bridge that crosses the Illinois River in Ottawa, Illinois.

The bridge is the main and only road route within the city connecting Ottawa's south side to the center of the city, and is a part of Illinois Routes 23 and 71. The bridge connects to State Street on the south end, and to Columbus Street and La Salle Street on the north end, one-way streets in Ottawa's city center.

The bridge sits about 1,800 feet (550 m) to the east and upriver from the vertical-lift railroad bridge in Ottawa, and sits at the mouth of the Fox River as it enters the Illinois River.

The bridge was opened in 1981, replacing the old truss bridge that once crossed the river about 300 feet (91 m) to the west. The key feature of the bridge is that it has a very high and long main span. The high and wide main span is much safer for the navigation of river traffic than the older bridge, which had a narrower central span. The bridge connects high to the bluff at the south end, is level for two spans, then connects low to the valley floor in the city center. The lengths of the bridge spans are 305 feet (93 m), 510 feet (160 m), and 385 feet (117 m).
Sand Key Bridge

The **Sand Key Bridge** (also called the **Clearwater Pass Bridge**) is a girder bridge that crosses the Clearwater Pass, connecting Clearwater and Belleair Beach, Florida. The bridge carries Gulf of Mexico Boulevard, part of SR 699, and it was built in 1995, replacing the original bascule bridge built in the 1960s.[1][2]

The bascule bridge was owned and maintained by the City of Clearwater, and current bridge and owned and maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation.[3]
Vietnam Memorial Bridge

The **Vietnam Memorial Bridge** (aka Holyoke Bridge, South Hadley Falls Bridge, and County Bridge) is a girder bridge that spans the Connecticut River between South Hadley and Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was built in 1990 to replace the original Holyoke-South Hadley bridge that was built in 1889 by New Jersey Steel and Iron Company and was designed by Edward S. Shaw.
Veterans Memorial Bridge (Missouri)

The **Veterans Memorial Bridge** are two twin tied arch structures carrying Route 364 across the Missouri River between St. Louis County and St. Charles County, Missouri. Each bridge supports five lanes of traffic, the northern (downstream) bridge westbound, and the southern (upstream) bridge eastbound.

On the north (downstream) side of the bridge runs a bike path that connects Creve Coeur Memorial Park to the Katy Trail.

Victory Bridge (New Jersey)

The **Victory Bridge** is a highway bridge in the U.S. state of New Jersey that carries Route 35 over the Raritan River, connecting the Middlesex County communities of Perth Amboy on the north and Sayreville to the south. The bridge is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT).

The new bridge replaced the original Victory Bridge, a swing bridge dedicated to the U.S. troops who served in World War I and opened in June 1926 at ceremonies attended by 200,000 people.[1] At the time of its construction, the original 360-foot bridge (110 m) was the longest such structure in New Jersey.[2]

The new bridge consists of twin structures (northbound and southbound), each carrying two 12-foot travel lanes (3.7 m), a 10-foot bike lane/outside shoulder (3.0 m) and a 3-foot shoulder (0.91 m). The southbound bridge also has a 6-foot-wide sidewalk (1.8 m). The bridge was designed with a record-setting 134-meter main span (440 ft)—the longest precast cantilever segmental construction in the United States. To reduce the construction time, the NJDOT selected the segmental precast concrete construction method for both the superstructure and substructure. The department estimated that by using this type of approach, it would reduce the duration of construction by at least one year and save millions of dollars in life cycle costs.[3]

Construction on the first half of the new high level fixed bridge across the Raritan River was completed on June 8, 2004.[4] The old Victory Bridge was then demolished and the new northbound parallel bridge was constructed in its place. The new, northbound section of the bridge opened to traffic on September 2, 2005.[5] The new high-level fixed bridge eliminates traffic delays caused when opening the former low-level swing bridge to allow boat traffic to pass through.

At each end of the new bridge are concrete stanchions, containing the original bridge's dedication plaque on one side and the new one's on the other. On the bridge's light poles, a feature arriving with the new bridge, are plaques honoring various battles in which American troops participated.

In the decade through 2014, nearly 80 individuals have attempted suicide by jumping off the new Victory Bridge, resulting in 22 deaths.[6][7] In February 2011, The City of Perth Amboy sent a resolution to Governor Chris Christie and the New Jersey General Assembly requesting the addition of a fence along the Victory Bridge. Currently there are no phones along the bridge route but there are suicide hotline numbers listed along the bridge's route.[8] Following the temporary closure of the pedestrian sidewalks and bike lanes in October 2014, NJDOT officials installed five-foot-high (1.5 m) fences along both sides to prevent further suicides.[6]
