Vantage Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Vantage, Washington.
Description
Vantage Bridge is a steel arch structure spanning 763 meters across the Columbia River with a through arch design and a central span of 160 meters. It carries Interstate 90 traffic across the water, linking areas on both sides of the river.
History
The original bridge was built in 1927 but needed to be relocated when the Wanapum Reservoir was created. Construction of the current structure began in 1962 at a new location to span the river.
Culture
The structure connects the two sides of the Columbia River in an area where ancient petrified forests and outdoor recreation areas meet.
Practical
The bridge is accessible to Interstate 90 traffic and provides a safe crossing over the river for through traffic. Visitors can enjoy good views of the structure from surrounding areas, especially from the riverbank roads.
Did you know?
Steel from the original 1927 structure was not wasted but repurposed in 1968 for the Lyons Ferry Bridge nearby. This makes Lyons Ferry Bridge the oldest steel cantilever bridge in Washington and shows a practical approach from that era.
