Cowen Park Bridge, Art Deco arch bridge in Ravenna district, Seattle, United States
The Cowen Park Bridge extends 358 feet across a deep ravine, connecting the Roosevelt neighborhood with the University District through reinforced concrete construction.
Engineers Clark H. Eldridge and A.J. Mahoney designed this Works Progress Administration project, which opened in 1936 during the nationwide infrastructure development period.
The National Register of Historic Places added this bridge to its records in 1982, recognizing its architectural elements and social impact on Seattle's development.
Located at 15th Avenue NE, the bridge carries vehicles and pedestrians between NE 62nd Street and Cowen Place NE, spanning the divide between Cowen and Ravenna Parks.
Twelve-foot Art Deco light standards line both sides of the bridge, representing engineering advancements in reinforced concrete arch design from the 1930s.
