Jose Rizal Bridge, Steel road bridge in International District, Seattle, US.

Jose Rizal Bridge is a steel structure spanning South Dearborn Street and Interstate 90, connecting the International District with Beacon Hill in Seattle. The bridge includes two traffic lanes and protected bicycle paths that serve pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles crossing between these neighborhoods.

Built in 1911 as the 12th Avenue South Bridge, it was among Seattle's first permanent steel bridges. It was renamed for Filipino patriot José Rizal in 1974, a name many Seattleites still do not recognize. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places under its original name.

The bridge carries the name of Jose Rizal, a Filipino writer and independence leader, honoring the strong presence of Filipino residents in this area. The naming reflects how the neighborhood has developed around the communities who have made it their home.

The bridge links the International District to Beacon Hill, carrying 12th Avenue South over South Dearborn Street and Interstate 90. Since 2021 it has two traffic lanes plus protected bicycle lanes, so cyclists and drivers share a narrower roadway than before. Approach from 12th Avenue South on either side; the span sits close to I-90 ramps, where traffic merges quickly.

The bridge's official name, honoring Filipino patriot José Rizal, was adopted in 1974 but is little known among Seattleites, who mostly call it the 12th Avenue South or Dearborn Street Bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 under that original name.
