Then and now: Latah Creek Bridge
In 1911, less than a year after the city completed the Monroe Street Bridge, work began on the Sunset Boulevard bridge, now better known as the Latah Creek bridge, in West Spokane. Part of the impetus for the new structure was the importance of wheat farming in central Washington and growing traffic of a new form of transportation, automobiles, on the roadways that would eventually stretch to Seattle. The bridge originally was fitted with rails for interurban trains. Read the story here.
