The Natchez-Vidalia Bridge are two twin cantilever bridges carrying US Routes 65, 84 and 425 across the Mississippi River between Vidalia, Louisiana and Natchez, Mississippi. It is the tallest bridge in Mississippi (although the Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge connecting Mississippi with Arkansas is taller by 5 feet, it is technically located entirely within Arkansas).
