Memorial Bridge, Road bridge across Kennebec River in Augusta, United States.

Memorial Bridge is a road bridge carrying U.S. Route 201, U.S. Route 202, Route 11 and Route 100 across the Kennebec River in Augusta, Maine. It is about 2,100 feet (640 m) long, with two traffic lanes and a barrier-protected sidewalk on each side of the roadway.

The bridge was completed in 1949 and provided a crucial transportation link between Augusta's divided sections. It replaced earlier crossing methods that were less reliable for carrying the city's growing traffic.

The 11-foot safety fence on each side dates from 1983, when it was installed after a number of suicides on the bridge; it was effective in deterring jumping. When a 2006 renovation led to its temporary removal, a debate arose over whether the fence was necessary. It stands beside the Riverview Psychiatric Center.

The bridge is a main route for vehicles and pedestrians traveling between the city's two sides during daily commuting. Traffic can be heavy during peak hours, so plan your crossing accordingly if you prefer quieter times.

In 1983, after several suicides at the bridge, an 11-foot-high safety fence was installed on each side; it was effective in deterring suicide by jumping. The fence was temporarily removed in 2006 for a renovation project, which sparked debate over whether it was necessary.
