The Maple Street Bridge is a girder bridge in the northwest United States in Spokane, Washington. It spans West Central to Downtown, crossing over the Spokane River and the Peaceful Valley neighborhood.^[5] Along with the Division Street Bridge and Monroe Street Bridge, the Maple Street Bridge is one of several major bridges that cross the Spokane River.^[6]

The bridge is 1,719 feet (524 m) in length, stands 125 feet (38 m) above the river, with a deck that is fifty feet (15 m) wide.^[5] It has two-lane traffic in both directions,^[2] and a caged pedestrian walkway. As of 2015, the Maple Street Bridge has an average daily traffic of 40,600 vehicles.^[6]

Construction began in 1956 and the Maple Street Bridge opened on July 1, 1958.^[1][7] The bridge cost $6 million dollars to construct,^[1][8] and required a ten-cent toll on vehicles from 1958 to 1981.^[9] During the first three hours, over 1,600 vehicles crossed the new bridge.^[10] The price was raised to 25 cents from 1981 to 1990, when the toll was removed.^[7]

During construction in December 1957, an iron worker was killed when he fell ninety feet (27 m) from a wooden platform.^[11][12]

In 2008, a teen died by accidentally falling from the Maple Street Bridge.^[13]
