Bridge of the Gods

The steel truss cantilever structure spans 565 meters across the Columbia River, connecting Oregon and Washington states at an elevation of 43 meters.

The bridge, constructed in 1926, required elevation modifications in 1938 to accommodate rising water levels following the construction of Bonneville Dam.

The Pacific Crest Trail traverses the Columbia River via this bridge, marking the lowest elevation point of the 4,270-kilometer hiking path.

Vehicles cross between Interstate 84 in Oregon and State Route 14 in Washington, with toll payments accepted through cash and credit cards.

Charles Lindbergh performed a turn under the newly built bridge in September 1927 while piloting the Spirit of St Louis aircraft.
