Approximately 1,500 bridges were constructed during the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. These bridges were essential for crossing rivers, valleys, and other obstacles along the route. The largest and most notable bridges included the High Bridge over the Kentucky River and the Union Pacific's bridges across the Platte River. The engineering feats achieved in bridge construction were significant for the time and contributed to the railroad's overall success.
