University Bridge is a concrete girder bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. Built in 1985, and designed by Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff, it is the second-newest bridge in St. Cloud, after Granite City Crossing. It is named for its proximity to St. Cloud State University. To accommodate bikers and walkers, the bridge has an approach ramp on one side and steps on the other side. For decoration, a scrollwork pattern is cut into the approach walls' concrete, and the piers are a curved "V" shape.
