The city of Longview,
Washington, is famous for the "Nutty Narrows Bridge," a bridge built solely for squirrels.In
1963, resident Amos Peters decided that there were too many squirrels
flattened by cars when running across the street to the park, so he
built a mini-suspension bridge to keep the squirrels safe. A local
councilwoman named it the "Nutty Narrows Bridge" after the state's
Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and the name stuck.
To date, the Nutty
Narrows Bridge has the title of the World's Narrowest Bridge and also
the World's Narrowest Animal Crossing. It was also the world's first
bridge built just for squirrels!
