The Mendota Bridge (full name Fort Snelling–Mendota Bridge), in the US state of Minnesota carries State Highway 55 (MN 55) and MN 62 over the Minnesota River between Fort Snelling and Mendota Heights.
Traffic on the north end of the bridge may turn onto the Fort Road Bridge (MN 5) to cross the Mississippi River into Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The skylines of both Minneapolis and Saint Paul can be seen simultaneously from the bridge.
The bridge is dedicated to the "Gopher Gunners", 151st Field Artillery who died in World War I.
