Cle Elum River Bridge

Cle Elum River Bridge

Heading eastbound on Interstate 90 after crossing the Yakima River, the freeway follows near the path of the 1915 highway. As the freeway makes the left curve and continues past the weight station, the original 1915 highway turned left onto Bullfrog Road. The old bridge is just north of the new bridge over the Cle Elum River. This is an original 1915 concrete double arch bridge just like the one that used to cross over the Snoqualmie River in Fall City. The side walls have been torn out and a metal guard rail has been added sometime in later years.
