Tanana River Bridge

Tanana River Bridge is a bridge over the Tanana River in Alaska, United States.

It is 3,300 feet (1,000 m) long, the longest bridge in Alaska and it was completed in August 2014.[1]

It is planned as a combined road and railroad bridge, but the first years it will be a road bridge only. The extension of Alaska Railroad to Delta Junction is planned to use the bridge. More than half of the funding came from the Department of Defence, since it connects to military facilities on the west side of the river.[2]
