This bridge was opened in 1968 to replace an early 1920s vintage bridge about 100 feet downstream. The same arched cantilever truss design was used for the US 97 bridge across the Columbia River at Beebe-Chelan Falls. Elmer Huntley was a member of the Washington State Highway Commission.
The photo was taken in 2002 from Central Ferry State Park (now closed). Whitman County is in the foreground, Garfield County in the background.
