WASHINGTON - VANCE CREEK BRIDGE

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Top contributor and pilot 60 Seconds used a drone to create this amazing aerial tour of an abandoned bridge in the USA's Pacific Northwest. The Vance Creek Bridge was built in the 1920's to serve the logging industry in Washington. As the fortunes of the state's forestry sector waned, the bridge was de-commissioned in the 1970's. Now it's a major attraction for hikers who seek out this amazing span, which stands 106 meters (347 ft.) tall. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Vance Creek Bridge was built in 1929 for a logging railroad. It is the second highest railroad arch in the United States at 347ft. It sits amongst the Satsop Hills. Abandoned in the 1970’s, the bridge is now an attraction for hikers, photographers and urban explorers. Due to arson and graffiti, parts of the bridge are being removed to limit access. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. NOTE: As with all sites, please respect the land, structures and wildlife. Do not trespass, do not climb over fences, do not enter unless allowed to do so, do not litter, do not touch, and enjoy the views.
