Gabriel Tucker Bridge

The Gabriel Tucker Bridge connects Bushrod Island with United Nations Drive, crossing the Mesurado River through Providence Island in Monrovia. The structure is designed to carry both vehicular and pedestrian traffic across the waterway.

The structure was built between 1972 and 1976, requiring the relocation of the National Museum to support its development. President William R. Tolbert later named the bridge after engineer Gabriel Johnson Tucker.

The bridge is named after Gabriel Johnson Tucker, an engineer whose work shaped the city's infrastructure. Local residents use it daily as a vital passage connecting different neighborhoods.

The bridge is open to vehicles and pedestrians throughout the day and serves as a main traffic route across the city. Travelers should expect slower movement during peak hours and watch for slippery conditions when it rains.

The bridge was originally called People's Bridge before receiving its current name. This name change reflected its growing importance in the city's development.
