Virginia Street Bridge
Virginia Street Bridge, Road bridge across Truckee River in Reno, Nevada, US.
The Virginia Street Bridge features concrete double arches spanning the Truckee River, connecting the northern and southern sections of downtown Reno.
Constructed in 1905 by Cotton Brothers and Company of Oakland, this bridge replaced earlier wooden structures that had been damaged by floods.
The bridge gained recognition as a location where newly divorced individuals would throw their wedding rings into the Truckee River after court proceedings.
The structure underwent complete reconstruction in 2016 to address flood control concerns while maintaining its position as a central crossing point.
Multiple film productions, including the 1939 movie 'Reno' and 1961's 'The Misfits', featured scenes of wedding ring ceremonies at this location.
