12th Avenue South Bridge

The 12th Avenue South Bridge—now officially Jose P. Rizal Bridge—is a historic bridge in Seattle, Washington, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 (ID #82004227).

The bridge was built in 1911, and was one of the first permanent steel bridges in Seattle. It carries 12th Avenue S. across S. Dearborn Street and Interstate 90, connecting Seattle's International District to Beacon Hill.

As part of Paul Schell's failed attempt to light several bridges for the Seattle Millennium Project, the bridge is illuminated by floodlights.

The bridge was the site of the murder of a police informant in 2002.

This might be a better view than Kerry Park, but not as nice to hang out at.

Go to the walkway on the west side of the bridge. Line up with the center of the highway below to shoot symmetrical traffic streams. At night use a long exposure to get the traffic in blurred motion.

When photographing long exposures on the bridge, don't shoot when a bus crosses the bridge since the entire bridge starts shaking. Best time to shoot: after sunset.
