| Title | Gears inside Fremont Bridge, Seattle, November 16, 1916 |
| Photographer | Lee, James P. |
| Date | 1916 |
| Caption | The original bridge to Fremont was razed in 1911 to make way for the dredging of the Lake Washington Canal; during this time, all traffic was rerouted to the temporary Stone Way Bridge, just five blocks to the east. A second temporary bridge served the original gap until 1915, when traffic was again rerouted to the Stone Way Bridge so that construction on the newest Fremont Bridge could begin. This photograph was taken during bridge construction.The Fremont Bridge opened on Friday June 15, 1917. |
