Tanana River Bridge

It is 3,300 feet (1,000 m) long, making it 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 RailroadtoDelta 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]

• The Mears Memorial Bridge for the Alaska Railroad over the Tanana river at Nenana is sometimes called the Tanana River Bridge
• The 1,290 feet (390 m) bridge of the George Parks Highway next to the Mears Memorial Bridge, is also sometimes called the Tanana River Bridge
