Captain William Moore Bridge, Suspension bridge in Skagway, Alaska.
The Captain William Moore Bridge stretches 300 feet across Moore Creek Gorge, featuring an H-shaped pylon inclined at 15 degrees from vertical.
Built in 1976, this bridge provided the first road connection between Skagway and Whitehorse, previously only accessible by White Pass railroad.
The structure bears the name of Captain William Moore, an early settler who worked as a pilot, prospector, trader, and riverboat captain in Skagway.
The bridge underwent reinforcement in 1986 to accommodate ore trucks weighing up to 160,000 pounds traveling between Alaska and Yukon Territory.
Engineers designed the bridge with anchors only on the south bank, allowing the north end to move freely during seismic activity.
