Blue Bridge, Footbridge at Reed College in Portland, United States.
The curved concrete bridge spans Reed Lake within the 28-acre watershed, connecting the north and south sections of Reed College campus.
The 1992 construction replaced the Arthur M. Churchill Memorial Bridge from 1959, which featured pre-stressed plywood cantilevers covered with canvas membrane.
The bridge location served as a ceremonial site in 2003 when Tibetan Buddhist monks performed a milk sacrifice and dispersed sand from their mandala.
The bridge structure, made with 4,000 pounds per square inch concrete and grade 60 steel reinforcement, provides passage for pedestrians and cyclists.
Professor Helen Stafford selected the bridge area for the scattering of her ashes, demonstrating the structure's personal significance to Reed College community members.
