Main Street Bridge, Railway bridge in Hillsboro, United States.

The Main Street Bridge spans 425 feet with a 78-foot-tall concrete arch in the center, carrying light rail traffic on the MAX Blue Line.

Constructed in 1997, this bridge replaced a wooden trestle from 1917 that had limited vehicle clearance and was removed after freight service ended in 1977.

The installation of the final track components in October 1997 included a ceremonial golden spike, marking the completion of the Westside light rail line.

The bridge structure connects the Westside/Southeast 12th Avenue station to the Hillsboro Airport/Fairgrounds station through six four-inch diameter support cables.

The city required the bridge to span five lanes without central support columns to prevent accidents that occurred with the previous crossing structure.
