Stearns Bayou Bridge

The Stearns Bayou Bridge is believed to be the first fully galvanized bridge in the United States; it was galvanized and installed in 1966. While galvanizing had been used to combat corrosion for more than a century, in 1966, utilizing galvanized steel in bridge construction was an innovative, untested approach.
The 420-foot long Stearns Bayou Bridge consists of eight spans; two 60-foot and six 50-foot sections of 30-inch, 108 pound rolled steel beams. In addition to the superstructure, all fasteners, handrail, diaphragms, shear connectors, and fittings were hot-dip galvanized.
