Location: Portland, Oregon
Broadway Bridge: Finished in 1913, this drawbridge marks the transition of Broadway Street
from North-South (west side) to East-West (east side). The Broadway bridge
is a unique double-leaf bascule span construction, 1,736 feet long, and
was designed by Ralph Modjeski [1]. Modjeski was another world-famous
bridge designer noted for, among other things, the Ben Franklin Bridge
over the Delaware River between Philadelphia, PA and Camden, NJ.
Modjeski also worked on other Oregon bridge projects between 1905-1915 [2].
