Wapato Bridge, Tied-arch bridge in Multnomah County, Oregon, US.
The Wapato Bridge extends 1,185 feet across the Multnomah Channel of the Columbia River, featuring a main arch span of 365 feet and 82-foot height.
The bridge opened in 2008, replacing a 1950 Parker truss structure that could no longer support modern truck weights for agricultural transportation to Sauvie Island.
In November 2023, the bridge received its current name to recognize the wapato plant's importance to Native American communities who first inhabited Sauvie Island.
The structure measures 66 feet wide and includes two traffic lanes with shoulders and sidewalks, connecting urban areas to Sauvie Island's agricultural regions.
The bridge incorporates weathering steel that develops a protective rust coating, while its brown and wheat colors match the surrounding rural environment.
