Madison Street Bridge, Historical bridge across Willamette River in Portland, United States.
The Madison Street Bridge connected Madison Street on the west bank to Hawthorne Avenue on the east bank of the Willamette River.
The Pacific Bridge Company completed the first Madison Street Bridge in 1891, operating as a toll bridge until local citizens purchased it for $145,000.
The bridge played a central role in Portland's transportation network, connecting communities and facilitating commerce between the east and west sides of the city.
The structure underwent multiple safety inspections and repairs throughout its existence, leading to a complete reconstruction in 1900 with enhanced structural elements.
A notable streetcar accident in 1893 caused seven fatalities when a vehicle drove off the open draw span, marking the worst bridge disaster in Portland's history.
