Curlew Bridge

The Curlew Bridge is a one-lane, pin-connected Parker Truss bridge originally built in 1908 at Curlew, Washington, US, to span the Kettle River just downstream from the point where the river turns north.

After many years of partial repairs, the bridge was dismantled and rebuilt during 2006-2007, to restore the entire structure.

To replace the ferry, a "Corduroy" bridge constructed from logs was erected in 1901.

Several options for replacement of the bridge had been discussed, but discarded due to the poor reception by the community.

Work began in June 2006, with the bridge being entirely dismantled and transported to Spokane.
