Also known unofficially as the "Humboldt Bay Bridge", consisting of three spans, named "Eureka Channel Bridge", "Middle Channel Bridge", and "Samoa Channel Bridge", from east to west. It was built in the 1960s, and made the Humboldt Bay ferries obsolete. (One of the ferries, the Madaket, still operates as a tour boat on Humboldt Bay.)

Driving over this bridge's spans in a light-weight vehicle during a high wind can be a hair-raising experience.
