Tukey's Bridge, Road bridge in Portland, United States.
Tukey's Bridge extends over Back Cove with eight vehicle lanes and connects the neighborhoods of Munjoy Hill and East Deering in Portland.
The original structure from 1796 operated as a toll bridge until 1837, named after Lemuel Tukey who collected fees and operated a tavern at its Portland end.
The bridge integrates the Back Cove Trail on its western side, providing a connection point for pedestrians and cyclists traversing the Portland waterfront.
The structure carries Interstate 295, U.S. Route 1, and Washington Avenue across Back Cove, serving as a primary transportation artery in Portland.
In January 2024, a utility truck broke through the guardrail and fell 45 feet into Casco Bay, with all occupants surviving the dramatic incident.
