Hoffstadt Bridge over Hoffstadt Creek is the longest and tallest of fourteen bridges on the Spirit Lake Memorial Highway ( Hwy 504) at Mount St. Helens. It is the tallest bridge on a State Highway in Washington State and 3rd tallest in the Northwest at 370 ft above the ground below. While most people enjoy the open air ride across it, those that have trepidations about heights will breathe deep as they cross this marvel of construction. Built in 1992 as part of the new highway to access the Volcano it was one of the keystones of the $200 million highway project.
