Monroe Street Bridge, Deck arch bridge in Spokane, United States.
The Monroe Street Bridge extends 1,230 feet across the Spokane River, featuring concrete arches and ornamental railings decorated with bison skull motifs and covered pavilions.
Completed in 1911, this bridge replaced earlier wooden and steel structures, standing as the largest concrete arch bridge in the United States at the time of its construction.
The bridge design incorporates architectural elements from Kirtland Kelsey Cutter and Karl Malmgren, reflecting the engineering capabilities and artistic values of early 20th century America.
The structure connects downtown Spokane to the north side of the city, providing vehicle lanes and pedestrian walkways with views of the river below.
During construction, workers faced extreme challenges from windstorms and swift river currents, while two laborers lost their lives and fifty others sustained injuries.
