Memorial Bridge, Concrete arch bridge in Springfield, Massachusetts, US.
The Memorial Bridge extends 1,515 feet across the Connecticut River, connecting Springfield with West Springfield through five concrete arch spans.
Constructed in 1922, this bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1814 and stands as the longest single concrete arch span in Massachusetts.
Four commemorative plaques mounted on the central towers honor early colonists and veterans who served in significant American military campaigns.
The bridge carries Massachusetts Route 147 traffic and pedestrians at a height of 29 feet above the Connecticut River, linking two major urban areas.
The bridge structure incorporates Melan-type two-hinged arches, which underwent complete deck replacement in 1996 due to chemical deterioration.
