Built in 1929 as part of the Yakima Park Road project in Mount Rainier National Park, the White River Bridge exemplifies the National Park Service Rustic architectural style. Designed by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs under the supervision of landscape architect Ernest A. Davidson, the three-centred arch bridge spans 60 feet across the White River with a stone-faced concrete structure. Contractor John D. Tobin of Portland, Oregon—who had previously constructed the Narada Falls Bridge and Christine Falls Bridges—oversaw construction of this modest yet carefully designed structure, which helped open access to the park's northeastern region. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 and remains a contributing property within the Mount Rainier National Historic Landmark District.
