Constructed in 1930–31 as part of Mount Rainier National Park's West Side Road project, the South Puyallup River Bridge exemplifies National Park Service rustic design. This stone-faced reinforced concrete arch bridge, conceived by the National Park Service and Bureau of Public Roads, spans 42 feet and measures nearly 35 feet wide to accommodate two lanes of traffic. Originally conceived to link the park's Nisqually and Carbon River entrances, the bridge was recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 and contributes to the Mount Rainier National Historic Landmark District, which documents the park's significant collection of Park Service rustic architecture.
