Bayview Bridge, Steel cable-stayed road bridge in West Quincy, United States.
Bayview Bridge is a cable-stayed steel structure that spans the Mississippi River and connects two counties through a road crossing. The bridge uses prefabricated steel and precast concrete sections in its construction.
This structure opened in 1987 to handle growing traffic that the previous river crossing could no longer accommodate. It represented an early application of cable-stayed design for this type of crossing.
The bridge carries traffic between two states and has become recognizable from the riverbanks below because of its distinctive cable-stayed towers. When lit at night with colored lights, it creates a landmark that locals and visitors notice from various viewpoints along the river.
The bridge is easily accessible during the day as a standard traffic route between the two counties. Specific areas accommodate pedestrians, and the structure remains visible at night due to its lighting system.
The lighting installed in 2015 uses four different colors and changes the appearance of the structure throughout the day. This system transformed the bridge into a distinctive landmark visible from multiple vantage points.
