Chow Chow Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Quinault Reservation, US.
The wooden bridge crossed the Quinault River with four timber king post trusses connected by steel cables near the town of Taholah.
Frank Milward designed this first cable-stayed bridge in Washington State for Aloha Lumber Company, which operated from 1952 until 1988.
The bridge closure in 1971 by tribal members marked a crucial moment in the Quinault Nation's fight for control over reservation resources.
The structure experienced three structural failures during its lifetime, leading to multiple reconstructions before its final removal in 1988.
After the final collapse, workers transformed the bridge materials into cedar shakes for a new tribal center in Taholah.
