Center Street Bridge, Road bridge in Salem, United States
The Center Street Bridge is a road bridge that spans the Willamette River, connecting West Salem to downtown Salem. It carries traffic from Oregon Route 22 and Wallace Road through the city center via Center Street and Front Street.
This bridge was completed in 1918, replacing an earlier steel structure that had served since 1891. The replacement improved transportation connections between West Salem and downtown Salem.
The bridge serves as a daily crossing point for Salem residents traveling between neighborhoods on either side of the river. It shapes how people move through the city and interact with different areas.
The bridge experiences heavy traffic during peak hours, so planning your crossing time can help avoid congestion. Pedestrian and bicycle access is available, though space is limited, so be aware of vehicle traffic patterns.
The bridge underwent a major seismic strengthening project in recent years to improve its resilience. This work ensured the structure can continue to function safely after significant earthquakes.
