University Bridge (St. Cloud)
Encyclopedia : U : UN : UNI : University Bridge (St. Cloud)
University Bridge is a concrete girder bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. This is the newest of the bridges within the city of Saint Cloud. It was built in 1985 and was designed by Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendorff. It is named for its proximity to St. Cloud State University. To accommodate bikers and walkers, the bridge has an approach ramp on one side and steps on the other side. To add decoration, the approach walls have a scrollwork pattern cut into the concrete, and the piers are a curved "V" shape.
The previous bridge at this structure, built in 1892, was a through-truss bridge.
