Dungeness River Bridge

The Dungeness River Bridge stretches 156 feet across the river, featuring a wooden Howe truss design standing 22 feet above the water surface.

Built in 1916 by the Seattle, Port Angeles, and Western Railway, the original timber structure was replaced in 1930 with a new wooden construction.

The bridge earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for representing early twentieth-century railway engineering methods.

Railroad Bridge Park provides access to the Olympic Discovery Trail, enabling visitors to walk or cycle across the restored bridge structure.

This bridge remains one of the last timber Howe through-truss railroad bridges in Washington, connecting pedestrians to both riverbanks since 1992.
