Columbia River Bridge

The Columbia River Bridge is a cantilever bridge crossing the Columbia River with three steel spans and a riveted truss design. The roadway accommodates vehicles while twin sidewalks allow pedestrians to walk across safely.

Construction took place from 1906 to 1908 and represented an important transportation advancement for the region at that time. The structure significantly improved connectivity between the two riverbanks when it opened.

The bridge stands as a testament to early 20th-century engineering methods and received recognition through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

The bridge accommodates both vehicle traffic and pedestrians with straightforward access across the river. The crossing is available year-round and easy to navigate.

The bridge connects Wenatchee and East Wenatchee while providing essential transportation links between Chelan and Douglas counties in Washington state.
