Old Vicksburg Bridge, Railroad bridge in Vicksburg, United States.
The Old Vicksburg Bridge spans 8,546 feet across the Mississippi River, connecting Vicksburg, Mississippi to Delta, Louisiana with its steel cantilever structure.
Harry Bovay initiated the bridge construction project in 1926, leading to its completion in 1930 at a cost of 4.7 million dollars.
The bridge represents a major engineering milestone as the first structure to cross the Mississippi River south of Memphis, revolutionizing transportation in the region.
The structure currently serves the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway line, supporting an average of 17 train crossings each day.
The bridge utilized railroad-style signal towers to manage tractor-trailer crossings before its conversion to exclusive railroad use in 1998.
