Million Dollar Bridge, Railway bridge in Cordova, United States
The Million Dollar Bridge extends 480 meters across the landscape, constructed with steel and concrete to support railway transportation in Alaska.
Built in the early twentieth century, this railway connection facilitated the development of copper mining districts in the Chugach Census Area.
The structure holds recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for its engineering methods and influence on regional transportation networks.
Visitors can reach the bridge throughout the year, with summer providing extended daylight hours for viewing the structure and surrounding mountains.
