Reno, Nevada
The Virginia Street Bridge is an iconic structure crossing the Truckee River in downtown Reno. Known as the "Wedding Ring Bridge" from folklore about divorcees tossing their rings into the river, the current bridge is a modern replacement that honors the site's history. It connects the city's civic center with the vibrant Riverwalk District.
Walk across to enjoy scenic river views, watch kayakers in the whitewater park below, or snap photos of the city skyline. It's a central point for exploring downtown.
Sunset offers beautiful lighting over the river. Summer evenings are perfect for strolling the nearby Riverwalk.
The bridge is a public thoroughfare open 24/7 to pedestrians and vehicles. It is a key connector in the downtown area.
Nearby amenities include benches, river access points, and numerous restaurants and shops along the Riverwalk.
