Deer Isle Bridge

is a suspension bridge spanning Eggemoggin Reach in the state of Maine. The bridge is the only vehicular connection from the Maine mainland to "Little Deer Isle", one of the segments that make up the island. The span was completed in March 1939 with a main span of 329 meters (1,088 feet). The bridge was desuigned by Holton Duncan Robinson and David Bernard Steinman (David & Steinman), and was a sister, in a way, to the Tacoma Narrows and Whitestone Bridges because the three spans encountered wind problems of some sort, all leading to span modification, such as cable stays (excluding the Tacoma Narrows, which was rebuilt after it's 1940 collapse). The Deer Isle Bridge was heavily modified with numerous cable stays connecting cables to the tower and tower to the deck. The span today carries two narrow lanes of State Route 15.
