Facts and practical information

The East 34th Street Bridge is a concrete open-spandrel bridge in Tacoma, Washington. The bridge was built in 1937 to replace a wood bridge that had previously spanned the gulch. The bridge is constructed of two rib arches, that are supported by 24-foot support legs, with spandrel columns between the arches and the bridge's 485-foot deck. The concrete railings on the deck are adorned with urn-shaped lampposts. ()
