Columbia River Crossing, Road bridge connecting Oregon and Washington across Columbia River
The Columbia River Crossing consists of two through-truss bridges with vertical-lift draw spans to accommodate shipping traffic on the Washington side.
The original northbound span of the Interstate Bridge opened in 1917, while the southbound bridge was added in 1958 to handle increased traffic flow.
The bridge complex serves as a connection point between Portland and Vancouver communities, supporting local events such as the Portland Rose Festival.
Travelers can access the crossing by car using three traffic lanes in each direction, though the bridges lack emergency lanes for vehicle breakdowns.
The project sparked extensive discussions about incorporating light rail transit and modernizing seven freeway interchanges to enhance regional transportation connectivity.
