Semiconductor packages with embedded bridge interconnects, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a semiconductor package may have a first side and a second side, and may include a bridge interconnect, embedded in a build-up material, having a first side with a plurality of conductive pads. The semiconductor package may also include a via having a first end that is narrower than a second end. The bridge interconnect and via may be arranged so that the first side of the semiconductor package is closer to the first side of the bridge interconnect than to the second side of the bridge interconnect, and so that the first side of the semiconductor package is closer to the first end of the via than to the second end of the via. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
