Confusion Hill Bridges, Road bridge in Mendocino County, California, United States.
The Confusion Hill Bridges consist of two parallel structures spanning across the South Fork Eel River at heights reaching 255 feet.
The bridges were constructed between 2006 and 2009 to redirect Highway 101 away from an area prone to dangerous landslides.
The north and south bridges carry names of local pioneers Elizabeth Jane Rosewarne and Mignon Stoddard Lilley respectively.
Both structures carry two lanes of U.S. Route 101 traffic, with the south bridge extending 1,239 feet and the north bridge measuring 531 feet.
The south bridge features variable depth engineering, transitioning from 31.4 feet at its center to 11.5 feet at its ends.
