Meridian Bridge (1977)
Posted June 7, 2021, by Briggs Moor (bmoor [at] resultsradio [dot] com)

I had previously read, but likely over 10 years ago now, that the Meridian Bridge is the only Center Swing Rim Bearing Cable-Stayed bridge in the U.S. (and one of only 2 in the world as I recall). Would you happen to know if this is still the case?
