Dungeness River Bridge, Historic railway bridge in Sequim, Washington, United States
The Dungeness River Bridge is a historic railway bridge crossing the river with a wooden Howe truss design. Today it carries pedestrians and cyclists across the water as part of a local trail system.
The bridge was built in 1916 by the Seattle, Port Angeles and Western Railway and then rebuilt in 1930 with a new wooden structure. This reconstruction established the form that visitors see today.
The bridge earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for representing early twentieth-century railway engineering methods.
Visitors can walk or cycle across the bridge as it forms part of a local trail network with access from both sides. The crossing is open to pedestrians and cyclists year-round in typical weather conditions.
This bridge remains one of the last timber Howe through-truss railroad bridges in Washington, connecting pedestrians to both riverbanks since 1992.
