Location: Portland, Oregon
Burnside Bridge: Finished in 1926, the Burnside Bridge, another drawbridge, marks the absolute
center of Portland, because Burnside Street divides the city into its north-south
sectors and the Willamette River divides it into its east-west sectors.
The bridge was one of several built in the 1920's by Multnomah County
(also the Sellwood and Ross Island Bridges) that was linked to a scandal after which
Gustav Lindenthal, a prestigious bridge designer, was brought in to sure
things up. [1] The bridge replaced an earlier bridge built in 1894;
the bridge is 2,308 feet long and is a double-leaf bascule drawspan type. [2]
