View Historic Structure Reports For This Bridge

This bridge is a mid-20th Century example of a swing bridge. Nationally and historically, swing bridges were somewhat uncommon to be built during this time, with bascule bridges and even vertical lift bridges generally preferred for their greater operation speed and increased clear span for boats. Design details of features of the swing truss are similar to fixed truss bridges designed by Washington State during this period. Indeed a comparison can be made right on this bridge as there is a fixed through truss approach span on this bridge. There also are concrete curved t-beam approach spans on this bridge.

This bridge no longer opens for boats, and has not operated since 1967. An old, but still active agreement with the Corps of Engineers states that if needed the bridge must be made movable within a year of notice.
