Four Bears Bridge, Road bridge in New Town, United States
The Four Bears Bridge spans nearly one mile across the Missouri River, connecting the communities of New Town and southern regions of North Dakota.
Construction of the current Four Bears Bridge began in 2003 and finished in 2005, replacing an earlier structure from 1934 that was relocated due to Garrison Dam.
The bridge displays medallions representing the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara tribes, honoring nineteen chiefs from these Native American communities.
The bridge carries North Dakota Highway 23 traffic and includes pedestrian walkways with observation points offering views of Lake Sakakawea and surrounding landscapes.
The structure features architectural elements reflecting local geography, with arches between piers mirroring nearby hills and curves following the natural contours of the land.
