The original Fremont Bridge was razed in 1911 to make way for the dredging of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, and a new permanent bridge was constructed to connect Fremont Avenue North in Fremont and Fourth Avenue North in Queen Anne. The new bridge is one of four double-leaf bascule bridges that carry vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the Lake Washington Ship Canal, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982.
This image of the new bridge appears to be facing south towards Queen Anne Hill. A bridge operator is visible in the right tower.
James P. Lee (1894-1963) was the City of Seattle's Engineering Department photographer from 1922-1957.
