View Information About HSR Ratings
This bridge is an attractive structure that is very wide because it is located at a point where the road splits into two immediately north of the bridge. It is actually about twice as wide as it is long. The bridge displays significant aesthetic design, and its curved railing is designed to compliment the bridge arch, so views beside this bridge look like the entire bridge follows the same curve, although the deck in reality does not have a significant camber.
Below is a historical photo of a Belle Isle bridge that appears to be this bridge.
