The Christine Falls Bridge is a reinforced concrete arch bridge in Mount Rainier National Park, spanning Van Trump Creek at Christine Falls. The bridge was built in 1927–1928 by contractor J.D. Tobin of Portland, Oregon, who built the Narada Falls Bridge at the same time. The arch has a three-centered profile and spans {{convert|56|ft|m}}. The bridge is {{convert|30|ft|m}} wide. It was faced with rubble stonework and is an example of National Park Service Rustic design.[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]

Predecessor bridges

Two other bridges formerly existed at this location. The "Old Christine Falls Bridge", built circa 1908 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, was constructed of wood[3] in a Howe truss design. Its span was {{convert|100|ft}} and was {{convert|100|ft}} above the surface.[4]

The first Christine Falls Bridge was condemned in 1917 because it was "badly decayed". A {{convert|60|ft|adj=on}} bridge was constructed closer to the falls as a replacement.[5]
