Stark Street Bridge, Steel truss bridge over the Sandy River near Troutdale, Oregon, United States

Stark Street Bridge is a steel truss structure that crosses the Sandy River in Troutdale. It carries vehicles over the water and connects local roads on both sides of the river.

A wooden crossing at this location failed in 1914, leading to the construction of a replacement. Engineers designed and completed this new steel structure in 1915.

The bridge carries Southeast Stark Street to the Historic Columbia River Highway, one of only two western entrances to that route. Its 1915 opening tied a local river crossing to the highway built for early automobile travel.

The bridge carries a 20-foot clear roadway with 35 feet of clearance above low water, so it stays usable for vehicles crossing the Sandy River. It links Southeast Stark Street directly with the Historic Columbia River Highway, making it one of the two western gateways to that route. Approach from Troutdale, about two miles west, to reach it.

The bridge's two spans differ in more than type: the 200-foot Pratt camel-back truss is a through span carrying traffic between its trusses, while the 77-foot Warren pony truss has no overhead bracing. Its deck was laid with creosoted wood blocks over a reinforced concrete slab.
