Veterans Memorial Bridge, Highway bridge across Susquehanna River in Sunbury, United States
The Veterans Memorial Bridge is a highway bridge spanning the Susquehanna River and connecting Shamokin Dam to Sunbury. It comprises 19 concrete spans supporting Routes 61 and 147 as they cross the water.
The bridge was built in 1986, replacing an older structure that had served the crossing before. Its construction responded to the need for improved transportation links between the two communities.
The name honors veterans and their service to the country. This naming reflects how the community integrates recognition of military sacrifice into its everyday infrastructure.
The bridge carries four traffic lanes and provides pedestrian access. Keep in mind this is a busy route, especially during commuting times when traffic moves quickly.
The bridge uses prestressed concrete technology that allows all 19 spans to be built identically. This approach simplified construction and helped reduce costs during its design and building.
