The Viking Bridge, also known as Goose River Bridge, near Portland, North Dakota, was built in 1885. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
The bridge is the oldest documented bridge in the state. It is also historically significant "for its association with C.P. Jones, a nineteenth-century bridge fabricator important for introducing iron and steel bridge technologies to North Dakota."[2]
