Snake River Bridge, Steel cantilever bridge in Franklin County, United States
The Snake River Bridge spans 1,770 feet across the water, featuring an 866-foot cantilever truss span positioned 50 feet above the water level.
Opening in 1968, this bridge replaced an earlier structure from 1952, which had been constructed after a devastating fire destroyed the original 1921 crossing.
The bridge connects Franklin and Columbia Counties, forming an essential part of the regional transportation network recognized in the National Register of Historic Places.
Drivers can access the bridge through local roads in both Franklin and Columbia Counties, with designated lanes accommodating regular traffic flow.
