Long-Allen Bridge, Truss road bridge in Shreveport, United States.
The Long-Allen Bridge spans the Red River with steel truss architecture, connecting the eastern and western sections of Shreveport with a length of 2,982 feet.
Built by Weatherly Construction Company from Kansas City, the bridge opened in 1933, replacing a ferry service as the primary crossing point over the Red River.
The bridge bears the names of two Louisiana governors, Huey Long and Oscar Allen, marking their influence on local infrastructure development during the 1930s.
The structure maintains a vertical clearance of 90 feet above the river and carries US Route 79 and US Route 80 traffic between Shreveport and Bossier City.
The bridge features a K-Truss design with riveted connections and includes three 102-foot-9-inch steel deck girder approach spans at each end.
