This Photo: This upward-looking shot was taken during Bridge Pedal in 2000, one of those rare times when you can actually walk or bike on the Fremont Bridge - normally cars only!
Fremont Bridge: Finished in 1973, this is Portland's newest bridge over the Willamette.
The double-decked Fremont Bridge connects northbound I-405 and westbound
US-30 to I-5. It weighs 6,000 tons and was lifted 170 feet - a Guinness
Book of World Records entry for heaviest lift ever made at the time.
The tied arch span is 902 feet long and was not built on-site but floated
on the river into place. [1]
