Red Wing Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Red Wing, United States
The Red Wing Bridge spans the Mississippi River with a total length of 1,631 feet and a main span measuring 432 feet.
The bridge opened in November 1960 with President Dwight D. Eisenhower attending the ceremony, leading to its official designation as the Eisenhower Bridge.
The bridge connected Wisconsin to Red Wing, Minnesota, serving as the sole Mississippi River crossing point within a 30-mile radius for local communities.
After concerns about structural integrity following the 2007 Minneapolis bridge collapse, engineers determined the bridge needed replacement, leading to construction of a new span.
The metal cantilever structure featured a rivet-connected Warren through truss design, representing engineering methods from the mid-twentieth century.
