Spokane Street Bridge, Road bridge in Seattle, United States
The Spokane Street Bridge consists of two concrete swing-span sections measuring 480 feet in length, connecting Harbor Island with West Seattle over the Duwamish River.
The original structure from 1924 was replaced in 1991 following damage from a freighter collision in 1978, which prompted federal funding for a new bridge construction.
The bridge name derives from Spokane Street, referencing the Spokane tribe who inhabited the Washington region before European settlement.
The bridge performs approximately 1,500 openings annually to allow maritime traffic passage, operating through a rotation mechanism supported by hydraulic oil-filled steel barrels.
The bridge structure rotates 45 degrees instead of the standard 90 degrees during operation, making it potentially the only swing bridge with this specific configuration.
