Episode Details

In the mid-1950s, Spokane faced a major transportation dilemma as truck traffic surged and the aging, narrow Greene Street Bridge—once slated for reuse at the Waterworks—became dangerously inadequate. A tragic 1950 crash of a mother and baby sealed the deal, pushing city leaders to build a modern, 56-foot-wide replacement. Opened in July 1956, the new bridge was part of a sweeping urban upgrade and still stands today, quietly overshadowed by the North Spokane Corridor—a silent testament to the city’s explosive growth and evolving infrastructure needs.
