DeSoto Bridge, Deck arch bridge in St. Cloud, United States.
The DeSoto Bridge stretches across the Mississippi River with a total length of 890 feet and a width of 70.5 feet.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation constructed the DeSoto Bridge in 1958, providing a four-lane crossing over the Mississippi River.
The bridge's black color, typically associated with railroad structures, made it stand out among highway bridges in Minnesota.
During its service, the bridge maintained a clearance of 32 feet below its deck, accommodating river traffic along the Mississippi.
The bridge's structural design incorporated deep trusses that arched over the river due to the elevated banks on both sides.
