St. Johns Bridge


The St. Johns Bridge spans the Willamette River in Portland. Its planning and initial construction predated nation-building WPA projects of the 1930s, and was finished in 1931. It's quite elegant.

Hiking a bit allows for a far better perspective of the bridge from Forest Park.

  1. That's my second-favorite Portland bridge! (the first being the Fremont) Portland has an annual event called the bridge pedal - it's a nightmare of jammed-in cyclists for much of the event but it does loop you over all the bridges. You might enjoy aspects of it!
