Penobscot River Bridge, Truss bridge in Bangor, United States
The bridge extends 657 feet across the Penobscot River, connecting the municipalities of Bangor and Brewer through a metal framework structure.
Built by the American Bridge Company in 1902, with additional construction phases completed by Boston Bridge Works in 1911.
The structure represents early 20th-century engineering methods and stands as the last Baltimore through-truss bridge design in Maine.
The bridge initially supported loads up to 15 tons, but weight restrictions reduced the limit to 3 tons before its replacement in 1997.
The bridge carried both U.S. Route 1A and Route 15 until Route 15 shifted to the Veterans Remembrance Bridge in 1986.
