Blue Bridge, Truss bridge in Kennewick, United States
The Pioneer Memorial Bridge spans the Columbia River with four lanes, connecting the cities of Pasco and Kennewick through a white and blue structure.
The bridge opened on July 30, 1954, replacing a previous green bridge that could no longer handle the increasing traffic of over 10,000 vehicles daily.
A 15 by 25 feet United States flag, donated through a Shriners community initiative in 1986, decorates this Columbia River crossing point.
Recent construction work replaced the cloverleaf patterns with two roundabouts to reduce traffic congestion at the junction of U.S. Route 395 and State Route 240.
The structure received its current name through a 1967 radio contest, although residents commonly refer to it as the Blue Bridge after its distinctive color.
