Piscataqua River Bridge, Road bridge between Portsmouth and Kittery, United States.
The Piscataqua River Bridge extends 4,503 feet across the water, featuring a steel arch design with a main span of 1,344 feet.
Construction began in 1968 and finished in 1972, marking the first fixed crossing between New Hampshire and Maine on Interstate 95.
The bridge serves as Maine's primary gateway, supporting regional commerce and connecting the northeastern United States to the rest of the country.
The structure carries six lanes of traffic and maintains a 135-foot clearance above water level, eliminating the need for a movable roadway.
During peak travel periods, the bridge handles up to 130,000 vehicles, making it the most traveled interstate connection between Maine and New Hampshire.
