In 1907, the Puget Sound Bridge and Oredging Company constructed a two-span steel pinconnected Pratt truss overthe Wenatchee River. This 320 foot structure consists of two 140 foot steel trusses, and two 20 foot timber trestleapproach spans. Each truss is composed of seven 20 foot panels, and rests on two pairs of riveted steel cylinderpiers which are filled with concrete, and are braced by two eyebars with turnbuckles. During the early 20th century,these riveted steel piers were a common, economical means of supporting a bridge. The standardization and widespreaduse of these concrete-filled cylinders is reflected in J.A.L. Waddell's book, Bridge Engineering where there is adiagram and description of piers identical to the West Monitor Bridge piers. The.bridge supports a timber deck whichis 16 feet wide, curb to curb.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Of the ten existing pinconQected Pratt,truss~s (with parallel chords) builtbefore 1910 within the state, the ~Jest f,lonitor Brid.ge and the F Street Bridge inPalouse appear' to 'be the oldest, and least altered examples of this commontruss.type which once predominated .the [andscape ," The significance of the West MonitorBridge as representative of a, commonbridge type is enhanced by the fact that theoriginal riveted steel cylinder piers' supporting the truss remain intact.
