South Park Bridge, Bascule bridge in Seattle, United States
The South Park Bridge features two movable sections that lift upward using counterweights to allow vessels passage along the Duwamish River waterway.
The original structure from 1931 earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 before its replacement in 2014.
The bridge connects Seattle communities and industrial areas, maintaining transportation links for residents, businesses, and maritime traffic in the region.
The current bridge spans 1,285 feet in length and includes two 95-foot lift sections that accommodate both vehicle traffic and water vessels.
Following the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, the original bridge received a structural rating of only 4 out of 100, leading to its closure.
