Noyo River Bridge, Prestressed concrete bridge in Fort Bragg, United States.
The Noyo River Bridge is a prestressed concrete bridge that crosses the river and connects Fort Bragg along State Route 1. The structure spans across the water with a contemporary design built to handle heavy traffic flow between the two sides of town.
The current bridge was completed in 2005 and replaced an older steel structure from 1948. This replacement marked a major upgrade to the city's transportation link after several decades of service from the previous design.
The bridge design incorporates special railings that allow motorists and passengers to view the coastal landscape while maintaining safety standards.
The bridge has four lanes and separate bicycle paths on both sides for different types of travelers. The structure is straightforward to navigate and accessible for various forms of transportation.
The bridge was one of the first structures to use special railing standards that balanced visibility with safety requirements. This design approach became a reference model for similar projects elsewhere in the region.
