Harold G. Moss Bridge

The Harold G. Moss Bridge, originally the East 34th Street Bridge, is a concrete open-spandrel bridge in Tacoma, Washington. The bridge was opened on October 20, 1936, to replace a wood bridge that had previously spanned the gulch. The bridge is constructed of two rib arches, that are supported by 24-foot (7 m) support legs, with spandrel columns between the arches and the bridge's 485-foot (148 m) deck. The concrete railings on the deck are adorned with urn-shaped lampposts.

A freeway section of State Route 7, proposed as part of the Mountain Freeway, was constructed in the gulch and under the bridge in the 1960s. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was renamed for Harold G. Moss, the first Black mayor of Tacoma, on October 1, 2019. Moss was also the 34th mayor of the city.
