Veterans Memorial Bridge, Bascule bridge in Somerset and Fall River, Massachusetts, US
The Veterans Memorial Bridge extends across the Taunton River, featuring a dedicated bike path on its north side and connecting ramps to Route 79.
Construction of the $290 million bridge commenced in May 2007, following funding challenges related to the Big Dig project redirection.
The bridge dedication ceremony in September 2011 included a special bike path dedication to Private Michael E. Bouthot, who died in Iraq.
The bridge carries U.S. Route 6 and Route 138 traffic, providing an alternative route when the Braga Bridge experiences operational issues.
The center span rises higher and extends wider than its predecessor, reducing maritime traffic delays for vessels passing underneath.
