Construction of Great Northern Railway's Ballard Bridge, circa 1913

Order an Image
The Great Northern Railway built a new railway bridge at Ballard in about 1913, during the construction of the Lake Washington Ship Canal. This bridge is still in use in the 2020s, and is known as the Salmon Bay Bridge. The span stays open for canal traffic unless a train is coming.

This photo shows the Great Northern Railway bridge during construction. Scaffolding holds up one of the spans while the men work on it.
