Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Eugene, United States.

The Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer Bridge spans 667 feet across the Willamette River, featuring six spans and four piers to accommodate both cyclists and pedestrians.

Initially proposed by Eugene Water & Electric Board in 1970 to carry steam between their plant and a greenhouse, the bridge construction required modifications due to river bedrock conditions.

The bridge bears the name of David Frohnmayer, who served as Oregon Attorney General and President of the University of Oregon, marking his influence on state education.

This bridge connects the University of Oregon campus to Autzen Stadium and Alton Baker Park, providing a direct route for students and visitors across the Willamette River.

The structure originated as a utility bridge for carrying pipes but evolved into a combined purpose design when local authorities funded the addition of pedestrian facilities.

Official opening: 1970
