The Sunset Boulevard Bridge, also known as the Latah Creek Bridge, is a deck arch bridge in the northwestern United States that spans Latah Creek in Spokane, Washington. The bridge connects the neighborhoods of Browne's Addition on the east, and Downtown Spokane just beyond that, with West Hills to the west. Latah Creek, which passes under the bridge, separates the two neighborhoods. It was built 113 years ago in 1911 by the city of Spokane, and was designed by Morton McCartney & J.F. Cunningham, with J.F. Greene serving as the construction engineer.[1]
It is the northernmost of three bridges which cross Latah Creek in its immediate area. High Bridge is located to the south, and carries a BNSF railroad. Interstate 90 crosses Latah Creek just to the south of the rail bridge. All three pass over High Bridge Park, which takes its name from the bridges.
