I originally posted the PORTLAND PLACES: Willamette River Bridges page on my old website on May 21, 2008 and last updated it on March 17, 2010.
Because Portland straddles the Willamette River, many bridges are needed throughout the city to cross it. Each of the bridges across the Willamette River from Oregon City to the Columbia River will be covered in its own post, in order, starting in the south. Every bridge is distinctly different, and many of them hold a notable distinction in the world. The posts include links to historic photographs from the Salem Public Library's Oregon Historic Photograph Collections, the Oregon State Library Photograph Collection, the ODOT History Center, the Oregon Historical Society, the Portland Auditor's Office, Portland Waterfront History, Dave's Electric Railroads, Postcard Views of Southern Pacific's Shasta Route at shastaroute.railfan.net, and Multnomah County Genweb.
