Tanana River Bridge, Railway and road bridges over Tanana River in Salcha, Alaska
The Tanana River Bridge stretches 3,300 feet across the river, incorporating 19 piers supported by large steel pilings driven into the riverbed.
Construction of the bridge, completed in 2014, required three years of work and cost 187 million dollars, funded by both state and federal sources.
The bridge inauguration ceremony drew hundreds of residents from Fairbanks and surrounding areas to walk across the completed structure in a community celebration.
Access to the bridge remains restricted to military traffic, with special permits available for moose hunters during designated hunting seasons.
The structure features a twelve-foot-wide path designed for one-way travel of military vehicles, including Army Strykers, connecting to training grounds.
