Ray Nitschke Memorial Bridge, Bascule bridge in Green Bay, US
The Ray Nitschke Memorial Bridge spans 773.7 feet across the Fox River, featuring twin-leaf bascules and connecting Main Street at US Highway 141.
The structure replaced the 1923 Main Street Bridge and opened in October 1998, marking a new era for transportation infrastructure in Green Bay.
The bridge bears the name of Ray Nitschke, a linebacker from the Green Bay Packers football team, representing the deep connection between the city and sports.
The bridge serves 12,860 vehicles daily and allows passage for both maritime vessels on the Fox River and pedestrians crossing between downtown sections.
In July 2017, the cargo ship M.V. Kaye E. Barker collided with the bridge's protective fendering system, causing damage to nearby structures but leaving the bridge intact.
