Mill Avenue Bridges
Mill Avenue Bridges, Historic bridge complex in Tempe, United States
The Mill Avenue Bridges include two concrete structures spanning across the Salt River, connecting the northern and southern sections of Mill Avenue in Tempe.
The original bridge, constructed in 1931, replaced an older one-lane highway bridge and served as a vital route for three transcontinental highways: US Routes 60, 70, and 80.
The Mill Avenue Bridges connect visitors to various shopping districts, dining establishments, and recreational spaces along the Salt River in downtown Tempe.
Both bridges remain open to vehicle and pedestrian traffic, with dedicated walking paths offering direct access to Tempe Town Lake and surrounding entertainment venues.
The structures maintained their functionality during severe floods in 1980 when multiple other river crossings in the region closed for safety concerns.
