Rock Island Railroad Bridge
Rock Island Railroad Bridge, Steel railway bridge in Rock Island, United States
The bridge consists of one through truss, one deck truss, and an approach trestle spanning 875 feet across the Columbia River between Chelan and Douglas counties.
Built in 1892 for the Great Northern Railway, this bridge represents the engineering capabilities of the Edge Moor Bridge Works of Wilmington, Delaware.
The structure stands as a testament to late 19th-century railroad development, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
Located 0.7 miles southwest of Rock Island, Washington, this bridge maintains its function as an active transportation link for freight trains across the Columbia River.
The deck truss spans were initially constructed upside down to serve as anchors for the main truss span during the original bridge assembly process.
