1. Intercity Green Bridge Marker
This is a piece of railing from the old Green Bridge that used to span the Columbia River between Pasco and Kennewick. The bridge was demolished in 1990 after the Cable Bridge was built to replace it. The 3,300 foot Green Bridge was dedicated in ceremonies that attracted 12,000 people Oct. 21, 1922. It provided a vital transcontinental link called the Old Yellowstone Trail Highway.
Erected by East Benton County Historical Society.
