Wikipedia Bridge of the Gods
The Bridge of the Gods is a steel truss cantilever bridge that spans the
Columbia River between Cascade Locks, Oregon and Washington state near
Stevenson. It is approximately 40 miles (64 kilometers) east of Portland, Oregon
and 4 miles (6.4 km) upriver from the Bonneville Dam. It currently serves as a
toll bridge operated by the Port of Cascade Locks.
The bridge was built by the Wauna Toll Bridge Company of Walla Walla, Washington
and opened in 1926 at a length of 1,127 feet (343 m). The higher river levels
resulting from the construction of the Bonneville Dam required the bridge to be
further elevated and extended to its current length of 1,856 feet (565 m).
The bridge is named after a famous geologic event also known
as Bridge of the Gods.
The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the Columbia River on the Bridge of the Gods and
the lowest elevation of the trail is on this bridge.
