Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge

The Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge, also known as the Bong Bridge, connects Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin, via U.S. Route 2 . Opened on October 25, 1985, it is roughly 11,800 feet long, including about 8,300 feet over water. It crosses the Saint Louis Bay that drains into Lake Superior.

The bridge’s namesake, Richard Ira Bong, was a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II who was named the United States' all-time "Ace of Aces". The bridge was originally to be named Arrowhead Bridge, after the old wood trestle–bascule bridge it replaced.
