Cable Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Tri-Cities, United States.

The Cable Bridge, officially the Ed Hendler Bridge, crosses the Columbia River between Pasco and Kennewick on State Route 397. Its two H-shaped towers rise 72.9 m, each pair of concrete legs joined by a crossbeam near the top. From them, 144 white parallel-wire cables fan down to a 24.33 m wide concrete deck, which has two lanes each way and a walkway on both sides.

The bridge opened on September 8, 1978, replacing the 1922 Pasco–Kennewick Bridge, which was demolished in 1990. It was inaccurately claimed to be the first major cable-stayed bridge in the United States; the Sitka Harbor Bridge, built in 1971, came earlier. Local engineer Arvid Grant consulted Fritz Leonhardt in 1971, and the cable-stayed design was chosen in 1973.

The bridge is a symbol of the Tri-Cities and hosts the Lampson Cable Bridge Run each winter, with 1-mile, 5 km and 10 km foot races starting together at the Kennewick end near the Lampson International headquarters. At that end stands the Tri-Cities Vietnam Veterans Memorial, engraved with the names of the area's dead.

The deck carries two lanes in each direction plus a walkway on both sides, so pedestrians cross alongside traffic. The bridge is 758.34 m long including ramps and clears the river by 15 m. On the Kennewick side, the remaining pier of the 1922 Pasco–Kennewick bridge serves as a lookout over the newer span.

The structure gained night illumination systems in 1998, making it a glowing landmark visible throughout the Tri-Cities area after dark. This lighting transformation turned it into a recognizable symbol for the region.
