New Sauvie Island Bridge

The only bridge providing access to Sauvie Island, 10 miles west of Portland, was recently in need of a replacement. Built in 1950, the original concrete girder bridge was quickly deteriorating. Construction started in December of 2007 to replace it with a 1,177-ft long tied arch structure. At $42 million, the bridge features over 1,250 tons of weathering steel. Click to learn more.
