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].

This Shoot: Bridge Pedal is an annual event that happens on a Sunday morning, where cyclists can ride their bikes on all the Portland Bridges, including the Fremont and Marquam Bridges, both normally prohibited to bicycles and pedestrians. So this is a rare time to enjoy a ride or even a walk across the terrific Fremont Bridge. This was a beautiful morning for it, obviously.
