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 deck is 86.6 feet (26.4 m) wide, with a full lane-width median and a two-way bicycle path, so walkers and cyclists cross on the same structure as traffic. The span sits at bluff height above Noyo Cove, where the two banks are over 800 feet apart.
The bridge's deck is 86.6 feet (26.4 m) wide, wider than the Golden Gate Bridge's 82 feet, because of a full lane-width median, two-way bicycle path and ST-10 scenic railings. The earlier 1948 truss bridge appears in Johnny Belinda, Overboard and Murder, She Wrote.
