The Northwood Bridge, also known as Goose River Bridge, was a historic 56-foot-long (17 m) bridge across the Goose River about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Northwood, North Dakota. Dating from 1906, it was significant as a relatively rare example of a half-hip type of Pratt pony truss bridge. It was also significant as the oldest surviving documented bridge in Grand Forks County, North Dakota. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It was destroyed by an overweight load in 2019.
Another bridge on the same river, the Goose River Bridge, is also NRHP-listed in North Dakota. The Northwood Bridge was listed a few months later.
The Northwood Bridge was one of ten bridges of the Fargo Bridge & Iron Co. in North Dakota that were listed on the National Register.
