Description: Nutty Narrows is a unique and charming series of squirrel bridges located in Longview, Washington. These bridges were originally conceived and constructed in 1963 by local builder Amos Peters to provide a safe passage for squirrels crossing the busy streets, thereby preventing them from becoming roadkill. The first bridge, made from aluminum and a retired fire hose, was an instant success and has since become a beloved local landmark. Over the years, additional bridges have been added, each with its own distinctive design, contributing to the town's quirky charm and commitment to wildlife safety. Nutty Narrows has garnered national attention, celebrating the harmonious coexistence between urban development and nature, and stands as a testament to community creativity and care for local wildlife.
