The VermillionNewcastle Bridge is a Nebraska and South Dakota Border crossing of the Missouri River. It joins Nebraska Highway 15 to South Dakota Highway 19.

The Dedication Ceremony was held on November 10, 2001.[1] The dedication ceremonies were held on the Nebraska side of the bridge at the overlook.

The bridge crosses the Missouri National Recreational River, a unit of the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS maintains the Mulberry Bend Overlook on the Nebraska side of the bridge with scenic overlooks and a 3/4 mile trail along the Missouri River.
