Memorial Bridge (Augusta, Maine)

The Memorial Bridge is a bridge in Augusta, Maine, that crosses the Kennebec River, joining the east and west sides of the city.

The bridge is approximately 2,100 feet (640 m) long and has two lanes for traffic and a barrier-protected sidewalk for pedestrians on each side of the roadway.

In 1983, after a number of deaths by suicide occurred on the bridge, an 11-foot‐high safety fence was installed on each side of the bridge.

The fence was effective in deterring suicide by jumping.
