The Lion Bridge was a historic cantilever bridge built over the Tuolumne River in central Stanislaus County which connects the city of Modesto, California on the north with the census-designated places of Shackelford and Bystrom on the south.
On March 16, 2026, the bridge was closed for traffic, and construction started to demolish the bridge. Construction for a replacement is estimated to be finished by late 2027, or early 2028. The total cost of the project is $134 million.
