The Fremont Bridge in Portland, Oregon

The Fremont Bridge is a steel tied arch bridge over the Willamette River located in Portland, Oregon. It carries Interstate 405 and US 30 traffic between downtown and North Portland where it intersects with I-5. It has the longest main span of any bridge in Oregon and is the second longest tied arch bridge in the world.

The bridge has two decks carrying vehicular traffic, each with four lanes. The upper deck is signed westbound on US 30 and southbound on I-405. The lower deck is signed eastbound on US 30 and northbound on I-405.


Thanks for watching.

Special bridge for me as my grandfather Edward Geer was president of Tokola corp. and in charge of the steel construction of the bridge. He also coordinated the lift of the entire main span (the arch) from barges into place using 32 hydraulic jacks. It was the largest lift in history at that time, and a great source of pride for him. He is 83 years old and still hard at work, currently consulting on the new section of the oakland bay bridge in san francisco. so yeah, i love the fremont.
