Not only did the Green Bridge transform the nickname "Twin Cities" into reality, but it was also a major crossing of the Columbia River, thereby making it an important part of the transcontinental Yellowstone Trail,[5] and marked the first time that eastern and western halves of the state cooperated in the construction of something that was beneficial to both.
The state of Washington purchased the bridge in 1931 and added it to the state highway system in 1933. Benton and Franklin counties took ownership of the bridge in 1954,[1] and then sold it to the cities of Pasco and Kennewick in 1968 for $1, which allowed the counties to begin planning the construction of the newer Cable Bridge.
