Bryan Bridge, Steel bridge on Niobrara River in Cherry County, United States.
The Bryan Bridge spans 289 feet across the Niobrara River with a 24-foot roadway, featuring an arched cantilever truss design connecting at the center with a single pin.
The Department of Public Works constructed the bridge in 1932, naming it after Governor Charles Wayland Bryan through local community support, with construction costs reaching $55,564.
The American Institute of Steel Construction recognized Bryan Bridge as the Most Beautiful Steel Bridge of 1932 in Class C, marking it as the first between Wisconsin and Pacific Coast.
Located along U.S. 20 in Cherry County, Nebraska, the bridge continues to serve as a vital crossing point over the Niobrara River for local transportation needs.
Russian immigrant Josef Sorkin, a 1929 graduate of the University of Nebraska College of Engineering, created the only bridge of this specific design in the United States.
