Walking the Steel Bridge

 


The Steel Bridge in Portland is only 211 feet long.  The upper deck has cars and the light rail. The lower deck carries the railroad and bikes/pedestrian traffic. It was built in 1912 and is the second-oldest vertical lift bridge in North America. It connects the Rose Quarter with Old Town/Chinatown:








It was cool walking over the bridge and seeing the city from a different angle.

    An excellent looking bridge, especially since it allows bikes and pedestrians. Happy Tuesday!
