Boone Bridge

Boone Bridge is a steel girder bridge that spans the Willamette River near Wilsonville, Oregon and carries Interstate 5 traffic through the western part of the state. The structure was built to handle heavy vehicle flow between major cities in the region.

The bridge opened in 1954 and replaced the former Boones Ferry operation that had transported people and vehicles across the river. This new crossing modernized regional transportation and connected communities more directly.

The bridge construction marked a transformation in local transportation patterns, changing how residents of Wilsonville connected with neighboring communities.

The bridge provides a main crossing point for drivers traveling between Portland and Salem in western Oregon. Regular maintenance keeps the structure in good working condition for safe passage.
