Rosalia Railroad Bridge, Railway bridge in Rosalia, Washington, US.
The Rosalia Railroad Bridge is a concrete arch bridge in Washington that crosses multiple transportation routes. It has two main spans separated by an embankment, with the western section passing over Pine Creek.
This concrete arch bridge was built in 1915 by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. It replaced an earlier wooden trestle and was added to the National Register in 1982.
The bridge stands near a historic battlefield site and shows how the railroad opened up the region. You can see here how important rail connections were for settling and developing the area.
The location is easy to find since the bridge crosses multiple roads and rail lines. Access is best from the state highway that runs beneath the structure.
What makes this bridge special is its design spanning over competing railroad lines. The vertical stacking shows a clever solution to limited space in the area.
