The John O'Connell Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Sitka Channel located in Sitka, Alaska . The bridge connects the town of Sitka on Baranof Island to the airport and Coast Guard Station on Japonski Island . Until the bridge was completed in 1971, the commute was only achievable through a ferry service. The bridge is named after John W. O'Connell, a former mayor of Sitka.[2] m ) in total length, with a main span of 450 feet (140 m ).[3] [4] m ) steel pylons carry two three-cable sets, each carrying a section of the bridge deck.[5] [6] Castle Hill .[2]
Approximately 4000 vehicles cross the bridge every day,[2] [7]
A man from Bellingham, Washington , died in August 2015 after jumping off the bridge to swim ashore.[8]
The bridge was designated as an Alaska Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2022.[9]
