Juneau-Douglas Bridge, Two-lane bridge in Juneau, US
The Juneau-Douglas Bridge stretches 189 meters across the Gastineau Channel, connecting downtown Juneau with Douglas Island through concrete and steel construction.
The first bridge, built in 1935 with federal funding from President Roosevelt's New Deal, served the community until its replacement in 1980 with the current structure.
The bridge dedication ceremony in October 1935 brought together residents for a grand parade and formal celebrations, marking a turning point for regional connectivity.
The bridge provides separate lanes for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, rising 20 meters above the waterline at zero tide to allow boat passage underneath.
Parts of the original 1935 bridge were repurposed throughout Juneau, with some structural elements integrated into residential buildings and local footbridges.
