Description
This bridge and the Columbia River main channel bridge to the north were originally built as one continuous 6,467' bridge consisting of sixteen simple through truss spans and two swing truss spans totaling 4,273' and 2,194' of steel deck plate girder spans across Hayden Island. The Hayden Island viaduct was later replaced with fill, separating the bridge into north channel and south channel sections.
