This bridge enabled pedestrians and horse drawn vehicles to ford the gap created in the 1880s when a canal was first dug to connect Lake Union to Salmon Bay. In 1901, the Seattle Electric Company laid tracks on the bridge to facilitate electric rail passage.

This bridge had a divided surface; to the east, wood planks carried electric trolley tracks, on the west, horse-drawn traffic proceeded. A small wood barrier separated the two ways.

Demolished; the first Fremont Bridge was removed in 1911, shortly after the construction of the Stone Way Bridge in 05/1911. (Removal of the Old Fremont Bridge from this location enabled work to go on for the Lake Washington Ship Canal as it passed Fremont c. 1911-1912.)
