The Northwood Bridge, also known as Goose River Bridge, is a historic bridge across the Goose River about 1.5 miles from Northwood, North Dakota. Dating from 1906, it is significant as a relatively rare example of a "half-hip" type of Pratt pony truss bridge. It is also significant as the oldest surviving documented bridge in Grand Forks County, North Dakota. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.^[1]^[2]

Another bridge on the same river, the Goose River Bridge, built in 1893, is described in a 1996 statewide study of historic bridges as one of the "best examples" of iron and steel truss bridges constructed by the out-of-state bridge contractors,^[3] and is also NRHP-listed in North Dakota.^[1] The Northwood Bridge was listed a few months later. ^[2]

The Northwood Bridge is one of ten bridges of the Fargo Bridge & Iron Co. in North Dakota that are listed on the National Register.^[1]
