William
Ransom Wood Centenial Bridge
Festival Fairbanks, Inc. worked hand in hand with local businesses, community
members, the City of Fairbanks, the Fairbanks North Star Borough, and the
State of Alaska, to construct a new walking bridge and bike path.
The versatile overpass connects the south bank of the Chena River
adjacent to the State Court House with the north bank near the Doyon,
Ltd. Headquarters.
In addition to being a memorial to our rich heritage, the Centennial
Bridge is both attractive and practical. It binds the community more
closely together for recreation and utility services as well as greatly
reduce the hazards to pedestrians and cyclists.
The Fairbanks Centennial Bridge was dedicated as the William Ransom
Wood Centennial Bridge on September 5, 2003
