The Pasco-Kennewick Bridge or Benton-Franklin Inter-County Bridge, known locally as the Green Bridge,[2] was a steel cantilever truss bridge crossing the Columbia River in central Washington, connecting the cities of Pasco and Kennewick. After it was replaced by the Cable Bridge in 1978, the bridge was demolished in 1990.
It was completed in 1922 after only a year of construction, replacing an outmoded ferry system in which a single trip transported a maximum of six cars across the Columbia River. It was in fact the first bridge for vehicular traffic across the middle part of the Columbia River (only ferries and rail bridges were previously available).[1] Originally planned in 1913 by B. B. Horrigan, funding was not secured until 1919, when Charles G. Huber of the Union Bridge Company sold $49,000 worth of stock to finance the project, despite the country being in the grips of the Post-World War I recession.[3] It was the first bridge of that size to be financed entirely with stock sales.[4] The bridge was operated as a toll bridge for the first nine years; the tolls were removed once the initial construction costs ($480,000) had been repaid.[1] It was also the first of three cantilever bridges built over the Columbia River in the 1920s.
