Longview is home to the [[Nutty Narrows Bridge]] built in 1963 by Amos Peters.  For many years, it was the only bridge in the world designed and built strictly for squirrels.  The bridge was built in 1963 and its purpose was to avoid squirrel casualties on the busy streets beneath.<ref>https://www.mylongview.com/400/Nutty-Narrows-Bridge -Squirrel bridge</ref>
