Blue Bridge, Footbridge at Reed College in Portland, United States.

The Blue Bridge is a concrete footbridge spanning Reed Lake that connects the north and south sections of the Reed College campus. The structure accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists.

The bridge was built in 1992, replacing an earlier structure from 1959 that featured pre-stressed plywood cantilevers covered with canvas. This change represented a shift to modern concrete construction methods.

Students call the span the Cross Canyon Bridge, and it is a chosen meeting point and a favourite spot cited by students and faculty. It appears in catalogues and admissions displays, and it has cameoed in the films Feast of Love (2007) and Blue Like Jazz (2012). During an end-of-year celebration, students reportedly swapped its white bulbs for blue ones.

The gently sloping, curved deck runs from the lawn north of Eliot Hall to the area between Chittick and Sisson dormitories, with metal guard rails and handrails lit by built-in fixtures. An accessible concrete path links the south end to the circular drive in front of the Vollum College Center, and covered bicycle parking sits between the bridge and the north entrance to Eliot Hall.

Students reportedly swapped the bridge's white bulbs for blue lights during an end-of-year celebration, a gesture that may explain the name. The bridge has also appeared on screen, in the films Feast of Love (2007) and Blue Like Jazz (2012).
