The Brotherhood Bridge is a road bridge in Juneau, Alaska.〔(USGS GNIS Feature Detail Report )〕 The bridge carries the Glacier Highway over the Mendenhall River, acting as a demarcation point of sorts between the urban and rural portions of mainland Juneau.〔(District 4 Precinct descriptions ). Alaska Division of Elections. 2002. Accessed March 23, 2008.〕 The bridge was named in honor of the Alaska Native Brotherhood (ANB). It was designed by civil engineer Roy Peratrovich, Jr., the son of Roy and Elizabeth Peratrovich, who were leaders in the ANB and counterpart Alaska Native Sisterhood. Bronze plaques on the bridge refer to the Raven and Eagle clans of the Tlingit people.〔"A Recollection of Civil Rights Leader Elizabeth Peratrovich." 2004. Accessed March 23, 2008.〕 The present bridge opened in 1965. Previous bridges across the Mendenhall River, at or near the same spot, were constructed in 1903, 1919 and 1931. The Brotherhood Bridge was slated for replacement, with widening and other improvements, in 2012. Demolition of the old bridge and construction of the new is currently pending. It was entered into the United States Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System on March 31, 1981.〔 Brotherhood Bridge was also the name of a band composed of Juneau-area musicians. ==References==
