The Purdy Bridge is a continuous hollow-box girder bridge that spans 550 feet (170 m) over Henderson Bay, connecting Purdy, Washington, USA with the Purdy Sand Spit Park. It was built in 1936, and at the time was the longest continuous box girder bridge in the US, at a cost of $62,000 from a design by Homer M. Hadley.[2]
The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
