New Youngs Bay Bridge
The New Youngs Bay Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge over Youngs Bay on U.S. Route 101 between Astoria and Warrenton. Including the approaches, it is long and was completed in 1964.
The bridge was built to the west of, closely in parallel to, a railroad trestle which also crossed the bay. It was built in 1896 for the Astoria and Columbia River Railway Company. The New Youngs Bay Bridge passed over the top of the railway bridge near the north river bank. The railroad bridge was used for the last time in 1982 and was dismantled in 1986.
