| Postcard via BridgeHunter This 345' (105m) long bridge has a 182' (55.5m) span. |
"Significance: This bridge, a Seattle landmark, is one of six bascule bridges based on a design developed by the City of Seattle which was derived from the Chicago bascule bridge type. It is unique because of its trunnion supports, employed to avoid a patent infringement lawsuit by the Strauss Bascule Bridge Company, and its architectural treatment. The bridge has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places." [HAER_data]
