Antioch Bridge, Road bridge in Sacramento County, United States.
The Antioch Bridge spans 1.8 miles across the San Joaquin River, connecting Contra Costa County to Sacramento County with steel plate girder construction.
The initial bridge from 1926 experienced multiple marine collisions due to narrow shipping channels, leading to the construction of a new structure in 1978.
The bridge bears the name of Senator John A. Nejedly, who secured funding through state legislation to improve transportation infrastructure in northern California.
Northbound travelers pay a $7 toll using electronic collection systems, while the structure maintains one traffic lane in each direction for vehicles.
In 1965, three circus lions escaped from a truck on the bridge, with two recaptured and one falling into the San Joaquin River.
