Fairview Avenue North Bridge


The Fairview Avenue North Bridge in Seattle, Washington, is a timber-pile bridge being rebuilt along Lake Union's eastern shore in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood. The bridge is needed to carry an arterial roadway across mudflats to the growing South Lake Union area.

History

The roadway relied on a once often used, but now outdated, construction atop a timber pier. The original span was built in 1948, with a parallel crossing completed in 1963. The crossing was closed in 2019 with a plan to reconstruct the road in 2020.
