The 12th Avenue South Bridge—now officially Jose P. Rizal Bridge[1]—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.

The bridge was the site of the murder of a police informant in 2002.[2]
