This article gives a chronology of bridge construction in the United States throughout the 20th century, with summary information provided for each date covered. From 1957 to 1959 the article covers steel truss and arch bridges; specifically it provides information on the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, the Greater New Orleans Bridge, and the Glen Canyon Bridge. From 1962 to 1977 the article emphasizes steel-tied arches, with the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, the Cold Springs Canyon Bridge, the William Preston Lane Jr. Bridge in Maryland, the Fremont Bridge in Oregon, and the New River Gorge Bridge among those mentioned. The final chronological section addresses more contemporary bridges, built from 1983 to 1992. The article closes with a section describing the future of United States bridgeways.
