narrow bridge

Single-lane span

A narrow bridge is a bridge wide enough for traffic in only one direction at a time.

Drivers approaching from opposite ends must yield to oncoming traffic or take turns crossing.

Road signs warning of a narrow bridge ahead are common on rural routes and mountain roads: We waited at the narrow bridge for the truck to pass.
