This large Deck Girder bridge crosses Quincy Bay in Quincy. Quincy Bay is a large side channel of the Mississippi River.
The bridge was built in 1960 during a line relocation. The old bridge across Quincy Bay was a swing bridge, and still exists today as the Quinsippi Park Road Bridge.
The bridge contains 7 spans, each at 100 feet. It is set onto large concrete substructures.
The author has ranked the bridge as minimally significant, due to the age and common nature of the design.
