The South Park Bridge (also called the 14th/16th Avenue South Bridge) is a double-leaf bascule bridge in Seattle, Washington, United States. Opened in 2014, the current bridge replaced a 1931 bascule bridge that carried the same name and had been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge is operated by the King County government.[2] It carries automobile traffic over the Duwamish River[2] near Boeing Field, just outside the city limits of Seattle, and is named for the nearby South Park neighborhood of Seattle.
