Vietnam Memorial Bridge, Girder bridge across Connecticut River in Massachusetts, United States.
The Vietnam Memorial Bridge stretches 540 feet in length and 56 feet in width, connecting the towns of South Hadley and Holyoke over the Connecticut River.
The current bridge, constructed in 1990, replaced the original Holyoke-South Hadley Bridge from 1889, which was built by the New Jersey Steel and Iron Company.
The bridge stands as a memorial structure dedicated to veterans who served during the Vietnam War, incorporating commemorative elements throughout its design.
The structure carries both pedestrian and vehicular traffic along Route 116, providing essential transportation links between South Hadley and Holyoke communities.
A preserved sign from the original 1889 bridge remains near the current structure, maintaining a physical connection to its nineteenth-century predecessor.
