Broadway
Marquam
Ross Island
Tilikum Crossing
Eastbank Esplanade (Bike and Pedestrian Path)
The most amazing thing about these bridges?? They have amazing views of the river and Portland.
These bridges are up above the Willamette River, and next to downtown. After sunset, these bridges glow along with the city, creating a vibrant reflection with the river water, outshining the stars. I've always loved crossing the bridges at night because of the beautiful view. And open your windows when you're crossing! The air is so fresh out here in Portland.
Biking in town?
These bridges give transportation from trains, max and buses, to cars and trucks. They are the structure of Portland and helps everyone commute in and out of town. There are bikers all over Portland that commutes everyday, rain or shine. I'm always amazed at these bikers because I'm a horrible biker myself. I remember my Manager went to a bridge bike ride event, where you can chose 5-9 bridges to bike on. She went for the 5 bridges. I found it fantastic that she was so active outside of work! I was also amazed about her biking over 5 bridges because they have to bike for such a long time.
At the event, there were many people, and this was the hardest day for drivers to commute. Many main roads were closed for the bikers safety.
