Fremont Bridge, Road bridge in Portland, United States
Description
The Fremont Bridge is a road bridge with two decks that carries traffic across the Willamette River between downtown Portland and the northern district. The structure uses a tied-arch design to support the traffic flowing in both directions.
History
The bridge was completed in 1973 to replace an earlier structure at the site. Its steel arch design represented a new approach to bridge construction at that time.
Culture
The Portland Art Commission influenced the bridge design to create a structure that would better complement the city landscape than its predecessor.
Practical
The bridge allows vehicles to cross the river in both directions and directly connects the two areas of the city. Pedestrians and cyclists can use the structure on designated paths.
Did you know?
During construction, a 6,000-ton steel arch was lifted into place as a single piece, setting a record for that era. This lifting operation remains a notable engineering achievement in bridge construction history.
