Hurricane Gulch Bridge, Railway bridge in the wilderness of Alaska, United States.
The Hurricane Gulch Bridge extends 918 feet across a deep canyon, reaching a height of 296 feet above the creek below.
The American Bridge Company completed the construction in 1921, making it the tallest bridge in the United States for eight consecutive years.
The bridge represents a connection point for Alaska Railroad passengers traveling between Anchorage and Denali National Park throughout the seasons.
Trains reduce their speed to five miles per hour while crossing the bridge, allowing passengers to observe the surrounding landscape.
The construction required 1,000 tons of steel for the arch and 530 additional tons for the approaches, using an aerial tram system.
