All of another sudden, a new bridge span. The last ‘new bridge’ #11 crossing the Willamette River opened in 1973. This one will open in 2015. It is for all traffic but cars. The span is visually beautiful. I am having trouble finding a good picture of what it looks like at present… but the link below will start your education. Exciting to see such a construction.
