Planned Road

The West Side Road was planned to link the Nisqually and Carbon River entrances to the park, but only 13 miles (21 km) were completed in six years.[2]

The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1991.

It is part of the Mount Rainier National Historic Landmark District, which encompasses the entire park, and which recognizes the park's inventory of Park Service-designed rustic architecture.[1]
