Gervais Street Bridge, Arched road bridge in Columbia, United States.
The Gervais Street Bridge extends 1,415 feet across the Congaree River with reinforced concrete arches and decorative cast iron light fixtures along its length.
The bridge opened in February 1928 after a construction period of two years, replacing earlier wooden structures destroyed during the Civil War.
The National Register of Historic Places recognizes this bridge for its architectural elements, including palmetto tree designs at the base of light posts.
Four traffic lanes connect downtown Columbia to West Columbia, serving as a primary route for vehicles crossing between the two areas.
Green painted cast iron lamps illuminate the bridge while nine open spandrel arches support the structure over the Congaree River.
